  Hi,
  Did you set correct_response of thejudgement_practice object ?

  Hi Elliot,

  I left the correct_response blank of the judgement_practice_object empty, with allowed responses letter 'g' and letter 'h' [please see top screenshot].

  But I specified the correct response for each data entry [please see bottom screenshot, right most column].

  The funny thing is that the experiment does call up the correct response page, and error response page, based on whether the response is accurate. But as mentioned the data file does not log the accuracy in the 'correct' cell?

  Many Thanks,
  Samuel

  Hi Elliot,

  I realized I changed the label for correct_response to correct_response_practice, so after amending the judgement_practice object it now logs the response accuracy!

  Many Thanks,

  Hi Samuel,

  how did you manage that each value appears in a separate cell in excel?

  Thanks!

  Hi Micki,

  1 Open Excel
  2 Go to "data"
  3 "open text"
  4 Choose your path
  5 select "separated"
  6 seleft "by comma"
  --> your done

  I would recommend to open your data in a statistics program.
  You will need it for further analyses anyway.
  In SPSS opening the .csv is similar to Excel.

  You're welcome

  Hi,

  For the accuracy variable to be defined, you need to use the right variable names for the response, the correct response and the correctness of the response. In particular, the response has to be called var.response, the correect response has to be called, var.correct_response, and the variable that indicates whether a specific response was correct or not, should be called var.correct. Based on these variables Opensesame will compute the variable var.accuracy.

  But if you have a variable that indicates whether a trial was correct or not, you can also define your own accuracy variable, all you need to know is the total number of trials and the total number of correct responses.

  Hope this helps,

  Eduard
