Can a small stimulus set reliably estimate individual differences in semantic salience?

Abstract

This study aims to replicate recent findings of consistent individual differences in fixation tendencies along six semantic dimensions. It will further test whether such individual fixation tendencies can be reliably estimated using a smaller stimulus set than that of the original study (700 images; de Haas et al., 2019). Specifically, it will test the reliability of individual fixation tendencies seen for subsets of 40, 100 or 200 images, as well as their consistency with fixation tendencies seen for the full set of 700 images.
