Data Dictionary

Recorded data can be exported as tables, formatted as CSV files. See Model for Tabular Data and Metadata on the Web.

Please note:

Each row in exported tables corresponds to a single event, related to a recorded response or a stimulus presentation.
The current dictionary is designed for different types of tasks, including some that are still in development. In order to avoid unnecessary large tables, optional columns that are not relevant for any tasks included in a given export will be excluded.
Cells in Trial and Response section columns will be empty in event rows not related to trials.
Cells in Stimulus section columns will be empty in event rows not related to stimuli.

Data export columns

Section	ColName	Definition	General Notes	ECITT Notes
Timing	timeZone	The time zone that the date/time columns refer to	Date/time values are formatted according to the ISO 8601 standard, but some applications may reformat these columns according to local settings. See ISO 8601 - Date and time format.
	evtDate	The event date
	evtTime	The event time
	evtUTCMs	The event UTC time in millisecs	See Coordinated Universal Time: An overview
Context	respName	The name of the responder device
	ctrlName	The name of the controller device
	projName	The project name
	tsetName	The test-set name
	partId	The participant ID
	taskType	The task-type	An abbreviation of the task type.	Either ecittTdl, ecittPsc or ecittAdt.
	taskActn	The action that triggered the current stimulus or trial/block sequence.	Each task type is associated with a set of task actions that triggers specific trial/block sequences or stimulus presentations. The value will be an abbreviation of the current action.	Either balanced, leftCorr, rghtCorr, cntrCorr, prptLeft, prptRght or showInstr.
	actnPrps	The primary, intended purpose of the current action.	Either priming or testing.
	actnRes	The end state of the of the current action	In rows representing the final event of a given action the value will be either complete or cancelled.
Block (optional)	blckName	The name of the current block	These columns will only be included in exports containing block sequences.	Not relevant
	sectName	The name of the current block section
	blckInd	The index of the current block within the current task action.
	sectInd	The index of the current section within the current block.
Trial	trlSeqTp	The trial sequence type	An abbreviation of the current trial sequence type. For trial sequence actions and stim presentations, it will be identical to the taskActn value.	Either balanced, leftCorr, rghtCorr, cntrCorr, prptLeft or prptRght.
	trlVar	The current trial variant	An abbreviation of the current trial variant.	For priming trials the variant reflects the location of the correct button: left, cntr or rght. For test trials it reflects the purpose of the trial within the sequence: prpt or inhb.
	trlCnfg	The current trial configuration	An underscore-separated string, containing parameter values assigned to the trial.	For all tasks it will contain the board layout: cntrOnly, leftRght or leftDotRght. For Toddler and Preschool tasks, and the final trial of Adult tasks, it will also include the reward name.
	trlInd	The trial index within the current trial sequence
	trlStDt	The time in millisecs since the current trial started.
	trlRes	The end state of the current trial	In rows representing the final event of a given trial, the value will reflect the end state of the trial: complete, cancelled or failed.
Response	rspGrp (optional)	The response group index within the current trial	This column will only be included in exports contaning trials where responses are divided into groups.
	rspInd	The response index within the current trial or response group.
	rspRdyDt	The time in millisecs since the current trial stage was presented and ready to receive a response. For single stage trials without initial animations, this value will be identical to the trlStDt value.		For Toddler and Preschool tasks, this value will be relative to the time when buttons were presented (trial start). For Adult tasks it will either be relative to the time when the dot was presented (trial start) or the subsequent button stage.
	rspRes	The result of the current response	If the participant tapped inside a stimulus tap area, the value will be an abbreviation of the task specific outcome/state caused by the response. If not, the value will be touch.	For all tasks, the outcome may be corr or incorr. For Adult tasks it may also be dot.
	rspDet (optional)	Response parameters describing details and dynamic trial adaptions that can not be inferred from the configuration or result	An underscore-separated string, containing parameter values. This column will only be included in exports contaning response details.	Not relevant
Stimulus	stimType	The current stimulus type		For Adult task instruction presentations the value will be instr.
	stimCnfg (optional)	The current stimulus configuration	An underscore-separated string, containing configuration parameters assigned to the stimulus (if any). This column will only be included in exports contaning stimulus configurations.	Not relevant
	stimOnDt	The time in millisecs since the current stimulus was presented.
	stimRes	The end state of the current stimulus	Either complete or cancelled.
