Group: Forum Members Posts: 96, Visits: 339	Hello, I would like to add the number of each trial to our raw data file, reflecting the order which was shown to participants. In my paste below from our raw data file, please find the "trialnum" column. You'll see that these are practice trials for the Approach/Avoidance script, and they certainly are not trial numbers 9, 12, 96, etc. as they were presented as the first 30 trials. We only have 30 practice trials, so I am not sure how to interpret "trialnum" when it ranges to 96. Additionally, I am hoping to have a column that just shows the numbers "1, 2, 3, etc." sequentially to show how participants viewed them for data analysis. Thank you! blockcode blocknum trialcode trialnum practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 9 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 12 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 15 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 18 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 21 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 24 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 27 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 30 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 33 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 36 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 39 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 42 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 45 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 48 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 51 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 54 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 57 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 60 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 63 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 66 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 69 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 72 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 75 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 78 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 81 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 84 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 87 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 90 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 93 practice_AAT 1 InterTrialInterval 96

The AAT script runs a lot of trials which are not logged, i.e. all the various instances of increase and decrease trials during which the participant moves the joystic around. Even when they're not logged, the still will (and should) affect the trialnum count. You are, of course, free to make use of values to implement your own, separate trial count which ignores the trials that aren't logged.
