Hi there, 

I ran a 3-part study over about a 1.5 year period mainly using Inquisit 5 (upgraded from 4 part-way through but that didn't have any negative effects that I can see). The key tasks I want to talk about here are the Cued Go/No-Go, Single N-Back, Wisconsin Card Sort Task, CRTT, and PSAP. I used the scripts from the millisecond website and did not edit the parameters. 

The majority of the data saved appropriately. For example I wanted both the raw and summary data from each task, the summary data being most important. In some cases, data for certain participants did not record at all for some of these tasks, even though they recorded for other tasks (either run through other programs, when starting inquisit again for a different task, or when using Inquisit to call MediaLab). 

I've had a look through similar forum questions but haven't managed to get to the bottom of it yet. Points that might be relevant are: 
- I ran the tasks off the C-drive of multiple computers (which we are supposed to do in our research lab) and backed-up the data throughout. I've checked all for the missing data
- There were no network/computer issues during the time of recording
- I think that we used the most update version of Inquisit 5 however, I can check this
- For some of the participants, I noted that the data log said that the results were saved to the O-drive of the computer (even though they were run off C-drive). However, there was nothing saved in the O-drive. 

Another issue is that at times, the raw data saved for certain tasks (seemingly randomly across participants) but the summary data did not (e.g., with the cued GNG task). This will be another broad question, however, is there a way to calculate the relevant summary data (/meanRT_verticalcue_gotarget, /meanRT_horizontalcue_gotarget, /inhibitionerror_v)?

Please let me know if you need further info or copies of the scripts.

Thanks,
