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”).
