As I remember it, the first author (Zhong) and I were provided with fully written Results sections for Experiments 1 and 3, emailed to us by the third author (Gino), but were never provided with any of the data used to generate these write-ups. As part of a data request from an external party some time after the publication of our paper, the third author provided data files for both experiments, which the first and second authors currently have access to. The third author had no involvement with Experiment 2.
