SPE Database

This project was inspired by the Confidence Database. We aimed at curating a database that include trial-level data and other meta-data from as many empirical studies that used self-matching task from Sui, He, & Humphreys (2012).

Currently, the SPE database includes trial-level data from 23 published papers, covering 38 experiments and 2175 participants in total. Each dataset includes information on reaction times (RTs), accuracy (ACC), and other information reported in papers. Participants in these included studies come from diverse cultural backgrounds, facilitating cross-study comparisons and meta-analytic investigations.

The SPE Database is continuously updated as new studies and datasets become available. We welcome contributions from researchers who wish to share their data and help expand this resource. If you are interested in contributing or collaborating, please feel free to reach out!

This project is in parallel with an on-going preregistered meta-analysis leading by Hu Chuan-Peng and Zheng Liu (see registry here).
