MATLAB code to implement fits of psychophysical observer models to data from behavioural timing tasks (SJ, TOJ, 2xSJ, ternary)

<div>This data record consists of a single <b>.zip</b> file which contains MATLAB code (developed using 2010-2016 MATLAB versions) used to fit temporal judgements with several versions of a psychophysical observer model. </div><div> </div><div>Within the <b>.zip </b>file, at the top level, there is a <b>Read_me.txt</b> file which provides details of function calls to use the code. Also at the top level is a folder named 'Model fitting functions' which contains all functions. To use the code, unzip the <b>.zip </b>file, put all files and folders onto your MATLAB path, then type one of the function calls in the <b>Read_me.txt</b> file.</div><div><br></div><div>The psychophysical observer model is described in the following three publications (resolving DOI links provided in the References, below):</div><div>- Yarrow, K., Jahn, N., Durant, S., & Arnold, D.H.
