Cumulative results

Within this window, all results are displayed in tabular form (group results). For example, if you run your research model N times, then this table should have N rows. However, as it is possible to load data from an external csv file (Open and Save buttons) located within this window, it is possible for the table below to contain more than N rows. Also, as it is possible to delete research results, this number can be less than N.


Export

This button is only used to export the data shown in the table below to other applications. Exported data can no longer be loaded with this program. Choose one of the offered file formats. If you choose csv file format, which is probably the most flexible, then you will have to define "Decimal separator in decimal numbers" and "Delimiter Character".


Copy

If you click on this button, the data shown in the table below in this window is copied to your Clipboard. The application must be allowed access to your Clipboard.


Description of the columns from the table of cumulative results


All statistics are always calculated only for stimuli that have a valid reaction time (error= 0, points=1). See here. The statistical value is not shown, if the sample size is too small to calculate the statistics.

Column Description
ID ID associated with this result
Date Date when the research was performed
Time Time when the research was performed
RT-M Dependent variable is reaction time. Arithmetic mean. All stimuli with valid reaction times. All reactions
RT-SD Dependent variable is reaction time. Standard deviation. All stimuli with valid reaction times. All reactions. Within this application, all standard deviations are calculated using Bessel's correction (sample standard deviation).
RT-N The total number of stimuli that have a valid reaction time. All reactions
RT-R1-M Dependent variable is reaction time. Arithmetic mean. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction1
RT-R1-SD Dependent variable is reaction time. Standard deviation. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction1
RT-R1-N The number of stimuli within Reaction1 that have a valid reaction time
RT-R2-M Dependent variable is reaction time. Arithmetic mean. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction2
RT-R2-SD Dependent variable is reaction time. Standard deviation. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction2
RT-R2-N The number of stimuli within Reaction2 that have a valid reaction time
... ...
RT-R10-M Dependent variable is reaction time. Arithmetic mean. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction10
RT-R10-SD Dependent variable is reaction time. Standard deviation. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction10
RT-R10-N The number of stimuli within Reaction10 that have a valid reaction time
P-M The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Arithmetic mean. All stimuli with valid reaction times. All reactions
P-SD The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Standard deviation. All stimuli with valid reaction times. All reactions
P-N The total number of stimuli that have a number of points = 1. All reactions
P-R1-M The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Arithmetic mean. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction1
P-R1-SD The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Standard deviation. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction1
P-R1-N Sample size for the calculated statistics in the previous 2 columns
P-R2-M The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Arithmetic mean. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction2
P-R2-SD The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Standard deviation. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction2
P-R2-N Sample size for the calculated statistics in the previous 2 columns
... ...
P-R10-M The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Arithmetic mean. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction10
P-R10-SD The dependent variable is points (0 or 1). Standard deviation. Only stimuli with valid reaction times for Reaction10
P-R10-N Sample size for the calculated statistics in the previous 2 columns
iLag Input lag for this research model. Input (keyboard) lag was calculated by the Calibration process before the start of the research. This parameter is important because it directly affects the final calculation of the reaction time, as explained here
DD Display delay (minimum display time). Time to draw only one frame. This parameter is important because it directly affects the final calculation of the reaction time, as explained here. If the Subtract Display delay when calculating rt option is set to "No", this column has a value of 0.
err This column should have a value of 0 for the research results to be fully valid. If this column value is greater than zero, software errors occurred when running the research model. These internal errors were not fatal, but probably affect the interpretation of the results. See here for details. Such errors occur, for example, in cases where the PRG application requests the necessary graphic or audio resources from your installed operating system (OS), and the OS denies them at a critical time point. In case the errors are not fatal, the application will continue to display the following stimuli, but will register these errors. In the event of fatal errors, the research will be automatically terminated.
