RESUMO
The dataset includes data from the triangulated investigation reported in our paper: 'Psychophysiological indices of cognitive style: A triangulated study incorporating neuroimaging, eye-tracking, psychometric and behavioral measures' [1,2]. The data was collected at the Directorate of Psychology & Public Health laboratories at the University of Salford, UK, in 2015 among an English-speaking sample. The dataset includes measures described in the paper including information-processing/cognitive style recorded as Cognitive Style Index [CSI; 3] scores, comparative visual search (CVS) task behavioral measures (reaction time and accuracy), eye-movement data (fixation duration, number of saccades, number of comparative saccades and distance moved) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) oxygenated hemoglobin (oxy-Hb) recorded using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
