Data description

Dependent variables: • path_power_transformed - power-transformed (Box-Cox) gaze path length • pupil_power_transformed - power-transformed (Box-Cox) average pupil size • order_of_access - order of access of the respective interest area • first_dwell_power_transformed - power-transformed (Box-Cox) first run dwell time (i.e., gaze duration) • total_dwell_power_transformed - power-transformed (Box-Cox) total dwell duration (i.e., total fixation duration) Independent Variables: • TrialScaled - scaled (z-transformed) order of the trial • Category - category of constructions (natural for naturalistic viewing; PREPOSITION: typical and atypical; VOICE: active and passive; DATIVE: NP and PP) • CanonicalFirst - whether the canonical construction (typical, active, NP) is presented before its atypical partner (atypical, passive, PP); this is a binary or dummy coded variable • InterestArea - interest area labels (A, B, C) • Combined independent variables • InterestAreaAndCategory - interaction (combination) of the interest area and the category Random Effect Variables: • Item - experimental items (image/sentence) • Participant - participant ID • Combined random effect variables • ParticipantAndInterestAreaPosition - interaction (combination) of participant and position of the interest area (e.g., U, D, L, R, NO) For further inquires contact: p.milin@bham.ac.uk
