Content This repository contains the files and data necessary to recreate the results from the paper N.Meibodi, H.Abbasi, A. Schuboe, D. Endres (2021) A Model of Selection History in Visual Attention, Proceedings of the 2021 Conference of the Society of Cognitive Science, Vienna, Austria. File list attention_models_cogsci.py: run this file in python 3.8 to recreate results: • maps_weights.pdf: bar plots to compare the maps’ weights between groups (color and shape). Fig5 in the paper. • evidence_par.pdf: model evidences on bar plots to compare three models. Fig4 in the paper. • model_evidence_par.xlsx: model evidences are saved in this file, when models are fitted across participants. • model_evidence_group.xlsx: model evidences are saved in this file, when models are fitted across groups. • CG.pdf and SG.pdf: Ex-Gaussian distributions of reaction times, fitted on the data and also model predicted distributions, for color group and shape group participants. Fig6 in the paper. torch_hessian.py: computation of Hessian matrix, needs to be in the same directory as 'attention_models_cogsci.py' Data_CogSci2021.xlsx: Data from which models are learned 'Description of the uploaded dataset - CogSci 2021.docx': Description of data format and content. paper_cogsci.pdf: preprint of the proceedings paper.
