EXPERIMENTAL DATA:


A small online experiment was conducted via Amazon Mechanical Turk in the context of the study of classical information flow on `reliability assessments'. The results are part of the Msc thesis of Lara van Wegen (ILLC, UvA), supervised by Sonja Smets and co-supervised by Gert-Jan Munneke (PhD researcher at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation). The mentioned Msc thesis contains a description of the experimental setup. The experimental data is online available, see: data-set.
