Exporting data

There are two portions of an output .CSV file. The first is a list of every single trial across all participants and across all conditions. It lists all important information, including all the measures viewable using the MouseTracker Analyzer program, in addition to the x- and y-coordinates corresponding with each trial. Note the condition column. This is where Condition 1 or 2 is specified. Condition 0 indicates that this trial was ignored by the Analyzer program (because it was not specified). For various types of screened and excluded data performed in the Analyzer program, it reassigns screened trials’ condition number to one of the following:

 

950	Not within range of response times or initiation times stipulated during Import
999	Incorrect responses that were excluded (indicated in Import)
900	A trial that exceeded the time deadline
888	Trial was selected and manually excluded using Exclude
666	Trial excluded through automated screening using Compute

Below the section of individual trials is a section detailing mean trajectories per individual participant and per Condition 1 or 2 only. This gives information about the mean trajectory of Condition 1 in each individual participant (all x- and y-coordinates) in addition to the mean MD, AUC, x-flip, y-flip, reaction time, and initiation time values of this mean trajectory, and does this as well for Condition 2. It also gives the number of incorrect responses made for each participant and each condition.

If a raw time analysis was conducted, the x and y coordinates corresponding with the raw time steps (rather than normalized time steps) are provided. Moreover, velocity, acceleration, and angle information is detailed for each individual trajectory and for each participant’s mean trajectories, and MD, AUC, x-flips, and y-flips are not included (as these are not computed in a raw time analysis).
