This repository provides the reproducible research materials for our project that investigates how numerical difference and ratio influence numerical preferences for food and social partners in pinyon jays. This includes the following:
- Data
- R script for data analysis
- R Markdown file for the manuscript
- R Markdown file for supplementary materials

One data file contains data from four studies: two replicates of both a version with food as the objects and a version with conspecifics as the objects. Data were collected on pinyon jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) in the Avian Cognition Lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln between Feb 2020 and Mar 2022. Food replicate 1 involved 8 subjects. Food replicate 2 involved 4 subjects. Social replicate 1 involved 10 subjects and 17 stooges. Social replicate 2 involved 10 subjects and 8 stooges. In the data file, each row represents the information and choice for a single trial for one subject.

wolff_etal_2022_data.csv
- study - study label (Food or Social)
- rep - replicate (1 or 2)
- subject - subject name
- sex - subject sex (Male or Female)
- date - date of experimental session
- session - session number
- pair - numerical pair of smaller and larger value (e.g., 1-2 is 1 vs. 2)
- small_num - smaller number in numerical pair
- large_num - larger number in numerical pair
- large_side - side (from experimenter perspective) for larger value
- small_birds - name of stooge birds in smaller group
- large_birds - name of stooge birds in larger group
- choice - side (from experimenter perspective) of option chosen by subject
- choose_larger - flag indicating whether chosen option was larger (1) or smaller (0) value
wolff_etal_2022_rcode.R - code for running computations and generating figures
wolff_etal_2022.Rmd - R Markdown document with R code embedded for main manuscript wolff_etal_2022_SM.qmd - Quarto document with R code embedded for supplementary materials
To reproduce these results, first clone or unzip the Git repository into a folder. Then, ensure that a subfolder named “figures” is in the folder. Next, open wolff_etal_2022_rcode.R in RStudio or another R interface and ensure that all packages mentioned at the top of the script are installed. Once all packages are installed, run the script in R using source("wolff_etal_2022_rcode.R").
Once the script runs without errors, you can compile the R Markdown document wolff_etal_2022.Rmd. Open this file in RStudio and ensure that you have packages {knitr} and {rmarkdown} installed. Once installed, use {knitr} to render the document (control-shift-K). To render wolff_etal_2022_SM.qmd, first install Quarto, then render inside RStudio.
