medin87train | R Documentation |
Creates randomized training blocks for Experiment 1 in Medin et
al. (1987), in a format that is suitable for slpALCOVE
,
slpSUSTAIN
, and other models that use either of those
input-representation formats.
medin87train(blocks = 2, subjs = 2, seed = 7649, missing = 'pad')
subjs |
Number of simulated participants to run. |
blocks |
Number of blocks to generate. The ten trial types are randomized within each block. |
seed |
Set random seed. |
missing |
If set to 'geo', output missing dimension flags (see below). If set to 'pad', use the padded stimulus representation format of slpSUSTAIN. |
A matrix is produced, with one row for each trial, and with the following columns:
ctrl
- Set to 4 on the first trial for each participant - 4 resets
the model to the initial state and does unsupervised learning afterwards.
Set to 3 for unsupervised trials - normal unsupervised learning
trial.
blk
- Training block.
stim
- Stimulus number, ranging from 1 to 10. The numbering scheme
is the same as in Medin et al. (1987, Fig. 1).
x1, x2, ...
- input representation. Where
missing='geo'
, x1, x2, and x3 are returned, each set at 1 or
0. This is the binary dimensional representation required by models
such as slpALCOVE, where e.g. x2 is the value on the second
dimension. Where missing='pad'
, w1, w2, x1, x2, y1, y2, z1,
z2, are returned. This is the padded represenation required by
models such as slpSUSTAIN; e.g. y1 and y2 represent the two possible
values on dimension 3, so if y1 is black, y2 is white, and the
stimulus is white, then [y1, y2] = [0, 1].
Although the trial ordering is random, a random seed is used, so multiple calls of this function with the same parameters should produce the same output. This is usually desirable for reproducibility and stability of non-linear optimization. To get a different order, use the seed argument to set a different seed.
R by C matrix, where each row is one trial, and the columns contain model input.
