In the code the definition can be found:

\newcommand{\onehalfspacing}{%
  \setstretch{1.25}%  default
  \ifcase \@ptsize \relax % 10pt
    \setstretch {1.25}%
  \or % 11pt
    \setstretch {1.213}%
  \or % 12pt
    \setstretch {1.241}%
  \fi
}

\newcommand{\doublespacing}{%
  \setstretch {1.667}%  default
  \ifcase \@ptsize \relax % 10pt
    \setstretch {1.667}%
  \or % 11pt
    \setstretch {1.618}%
  \or % 12pt
    \setstretch {1.655}%
  \fi
}

If a more Word/*Office like behaviour is needed, these can
be redefined:

\usepackage{setspace}
\renewcommand*{\onehalfspacing}{\setstretch{1.5}}
\renewcommand*{\doublespacing}{\setstretch{2}}
% If given as option, the command needs to be called again,
% to activate it with the new definition
\onehalfspacing
