Experiment Generator: Results file format

Back to Experiment Generator main page…

If you asked to save the experiment results (via the save_results parameter in the “general” worksheet), when the experiment ends the participant will be prompted to download a CSV file containing the experiment results. This CSV file will contain one line for each trial step that required making a response. It will have the following columns:

  • config_trial_number: the line number of that trial in the “trials” worksheet in the Excel file.
  • trial_index: the step number using jspsych’s internal numbering.
  • rt: the reaction time, in seconds.
  • time_elapsed: the time elapsed from time=0 until the step started. The time point defined as time=0 depends on your experiment configuration: if you asked to play a beep when the session starts (parameter start_of_session_beep in the “general” worksheet set to “Y”), time=0 is the end of the beep. You can use it to synchronize the reaction times versus your audio or video recording. If you did not ask to beep, time=0 is roughly the time when the participant opened the experiment web page.
  • Stimuli: each layout element used in the trial will be added as a column (essentially, the same columns as defined in the “trials” worksheet).
  • Any “save:” column from the “trials” worksheet.
