This archive contains data and models reported in the following publication:

Petrov, A.  (2010). Category rating is based on prototypes and not instances: 
  Evidence from feedback-dependent context effects. 
  Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, ?, ??-??.   
PDF preprint is included here and also available on-line at http://alexpetrov.com/pub/jephpp10/

The three subfolders contain the following:
* fdbk1 -- Experiment 1 -- This is the most informative folder. Also contains model fits.
* CRFeedback2 -- Experiment 2
* protoanchor -- Matlab implementation of the INST model

Each of these subfolders has its own readme.txt file with further details.

Note: The Matlab scripts depend on various utilities and on the whole infrastructure available
on Alex Petrov's office computer.  No effort has been made here to track all dependencies and
include them in this distribution. Thus, they will *not* work by themselves. An (old) version 
of the most important utilities is available on-line at http://alexpetrov.com/softw/   
The version of the ANCHOR model for the Psych Review paper (Petrov & Anderson, 2005) is available
at http://alexpetrov.com/proj/anchor/
If you download and install utils and anchor, together with the scripts provided in this archive,
you do have a fighting chance of getting everything to work.  However, this is hardly the point.
The point is to get a feeling of what was done in the JEP:HPP paper and make the experimental 
data available for your own explorations.  Let me know if I can be of further help.

Good luck!
