Making sense of keyboard responses

Hi,


In one of my studies, I have participants press the 'i' key for pleasant/unpleasant or the 'e' key for vice versa. In another version they press either 'd' or 'k'. I ran my first pilot subject today to see how the data are recorded and I find that in the responses column, where the required responses was either 'i' or 'e', I see '23' or '18' recorded and '32' and '37' recorded when the required responses are 'd' and 'k'. How do I make sense of this? In simple, how do I tell from these numbers as to what key was pressed by a given subject? I would greatly appreciate any help in this regard!


Thank you so much!
