VICE

VICE is a tool is designed to streamline the interpretation of human similarity judgments, utilizing a class of experiments known as triplet choice tasks. The tool accommodates a variety of triplet choice tasks, such as the 2-alternative forced choice (2AFC) and the odd-one-out. In these tasks, participants are required to make choices between items based on similarity judgments. These tasks can involve diverse types of object exemplars, including words, colors, or images, which allows for broad application across different research domains.

For researchers interested in dimensional modeling, the tool is particularly useful for examining nuanced similarity judgments. It generates a dimensional model from participants' choices, transforming these decisions into coordinates within a latent space. This helps in visualizing and understanding the underlying dimensions that participants use to determine similarity.
