59 participants from Maniq, Thai, and Dutch cultures performed an odor-to-temperature matching task. The dataset contains responses from the matching task and a subsequent odor naming task, collected by researchers from Radboud University Nijmegen. The experimental task was administered twice with an average break of 2 hours to check consistency.
Use Cases
- Analyze cross-modal associations between odors and temperatures based on participant matching responses.
- Compare odor-temperature association patterns across the three distinct cultural groups.
- Study the consistency of sensory matches over time based on the repeated task administration.
- Investigate the relationship between odor familiarity ratings and temperature associations.
- Examine linguistic descriptions of odors and their categorization in the naming task.
Strengths
- Data from 59 participants across three distinct cultural groups (Maniq, Thai, Dutch).
- Experimental design includes a repeated task with a 2-hour average break to assess consistency.
- Includes both quantitative matching responses and qualitative odor naming data.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Sample sizes for the Maniq group (N=11) are smaller than for the Thai and Dutch groups (N=24 each).
