output data
Columns for the output dataset
Datafile Column Name | Description | Location | Variable Name |
exp | The experiment name | Dbfile | expName |
sn | The subject Number | Main exp code | ?? |
cond | A string variable to specify condition information | Dbfile | condName |
sess | This is the session number for the same subject. I am not sure if we have the information for this. Or even if we can get the information. I have an idea that I might implement later … |
|
|
Block | Block Number | Main exp code |
|
trial | The trial number | Main exp code |
|
trial_type | This is the trial type: 0 = practice, 1 = experiment; -1 = bad trial (for whatever reason) | Main exp code |
|
For each frame put add the following information | |||
stimNumber | The stimulus number in the stimFile | stimFile | scenarios |
FrameName | The name of the frame | stimFile | frameName |
respType | The type of response | stimFile | trialType |
post_trial_gap | The ISI | stimFile | post_trial_gap |
stimulus_duration | The time On of the stimulus | stimFile | stimulus_duration |
Response | The key press/ text input from the frame | Main exp code | ? |
KeyMeaning | Map the key press to it’s meaning specified by the keymap in the dbfile and output the meaning of the key pressed (e.g., “Yes”). | Main exp code and the dbfile | KeyMap |
RT | The RT for the response | Main exp code | ? |
Next: Output All the OutputVariables in the stimfile. Use the variable names as the column names, and the contents as the data. I am not listing them here, because they are a list input from the stimFile. So you convert that list (outputVariables) to be output into the dataset.
| |||
set | The set name/number of the stimulus | stimFile | Set |
showFeedback | Whether to show the feedback | stimFile | showFeedback |
Feedback | Map the key press to it’s meaning specified by the keymap in the dbfile. Map the meaning to the feedbackOutput_key, and output the appropriate choice (e.g., “Correct”). | StimFile + dbfile+main exp code | feedbackOutput_key + keyMap |
That is my initial thoughts.
