aphantasiaReasoningViie

aphantasiaReasoningViie is a data analysis project disguised as an R package. It contains the code and data to reproduce the analyses presented in the paper “The Impact of Mental Images on Reasoning: A Study on Aphantasia” (preprint coming soon).

The R package structure was chosen to facilitate the sharing of the code and data with the scientific community, and to make it easy to reproduce the analyses. It is not intended to be a general-purpose package, but rather a collection of functions and data specific to this study (although many functions are reusable in their own right). The package development workflow (see this reference book) is also a good way to ensure that the code is well-documented and tested, which is important for reproducibility in scientific research.

Installation

The code to install the development version of aphantasiaReasoningViie is the following:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("m-delem/aphantasiaReasoningViie")

Alternatively, you can clone the repository, launch the R project in RStudio by opening the aphantasiaReasoningViie.Rproj file and run the following command:

devtools::load_all()
#> ℹ Loading aphantasiaReasoningViie
#> Welcome to aphantasiaReasoningViie.

… Which will load the package and make all its functions and data available in your R session.

The online documentation of the package contains detailed articles describing:

  • The power analyses by simulation

  • The data processing steps

  • The creation of the groups and clusters used in the analyses

  • The accuracy analyses (WIP)

  • The response time analyses (WIP)

  • The strategies analyses (WIP)

  • The exploratory non-linear RT models (WIP)
