Description 272,700 two-alternative forced choice responses in a simple numerical task modeled after Tenenbaum (1999, 2000), collected from 606 Amazon Mechanical Turk workers. Subjects were shown sets of numbers length 1 to 4 from the range 1 to 100 (e.g. {12, 16}), and asked what other numbers were likely to belong to that set (e.g. 1, 5, 2, 98). Their generalization patterns reflect both rule-like (e.g. “even numbers,” “powers of two”) and distance-based (e.g. numbers near 50) generalization. This data set is available for further analysis of these simple and intuitive inferences, developing of hands-on modeling instruction, and attempts to understand how probability and rules interact in human cognition.
