The materials in this Project include the stimuli, test materials, and data from a set of experiments in Shang & Styles (2017). With these materials you can:
• replicate/check our existing analysis
• do your own exploratory analysis to test a different hypothesis
• replicate the main experiment on paper using the same design, or in a different paradigm.
• use these stimuli in new experiments with different designs.
**The collection includes:**
Audio recordings of natural speech by a native speaker of Mandarin Chinese articulating the vowels /i/ and /u/ in the four tones of Mandarin Chinese (T1, T2, T3, T4). The articulations have been judged to be typical, as reported in the main article.
Visual stimuli used in the studies - photographs of objects hand made by the second author.
**Reports:**
The main report arising from this project can be found here:
