Description

The Excel file contains the filtered data records of the map-reading study of the Research Group on Experimental Cartography at the Eötvös Loránd University (ktk.elte.hu). The data collection started in the autumn of 2015 and lasted until April 2022. The file contains three sheets: demographic_questions; correct_answers; map_reading_database. The first two sheets contain the questions asked, the answer codes, and the correct answers. The third one has 511 records, which is the result of a filtering of the original 805 fills. The filtering excluded the unfinished tests, and the ones with fill time below 2.5 minutes and above 15 minutes.

Notes

The research was part of the ongoing TKP2021-NVA-29 Project, which has been implemented with the support provided by the Ministry of Culture and Innovation of Hungary from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund, financed under the TKP2021-NVA funding scheme.
