Overview

About

Maintained by Dale BarrCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Data and functions for analyzing and simulating illusory truth datasets, developed as part of a longitudinal study by Henderson, Barr, and Simons (2020). The illusory truth effect is the observation that people rate repeated statements as more likely to be true than novel statements. We tested the trajectory of the illusory truth effect by collecting truth ratings for statements repeated across four time intervals: immediately, one day, one week, and one month following initial presentation. The package contains the anonymized data from the study along with stimulus materials, as well as functions for analyzing the data, running simulations, and calculating power. Further details about the project are available at https://osf.io/nvugt/, which includes Stage 1 of the Registered Report at the Journal of Cognition (https://osf.io/vqnx2/).

Changes in 1.2.5

Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
Added I() to literal use of readr::read_csv() in preprocessing functions for compatibility with upcoming 2.0.0 release of the readr package (#5).

Install

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/truthiness/truthiness_1.2.5.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "truthiness_1.2.5.tar.gz"

install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.2.5) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("dalejbarr/truthiness")

Development version from dalejbarr/truthiness. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
