Dear Dave,

I hope you're doing well these days.

I was examining the data returned by Cyberball (3-player) and found something that confused me.

As you can see, player1 and 3 are coded as virtual players whose hesitation time before pitching is determined by the following code:

/ cyberdecisiontime:     selects with replacement (replace) one of the 4 decision times for players1 and 3

<expressions>
/ cyberdecisiontime = replace(500, 1000, 1500, 200)

As well as this is an example of applying 'cyberdecisiontime' in trial:
Note: trial.1to2 => video shows player 1 throwing the ball to player 2 after expressions.cyberdecisiontime.
Player 3 (= values.player) then has to decide where to throw the ball next (= values.recipient)
<trial 1to2>
/ ontrialbegin = [
    values.player = 2;
    if (values.count_ignore2 > values.max_ignore2)
        values.max_ignore2 = values.count_ignore2;
    if (values.ignore2_streak1 == 0)
        values.ignore2_streak1 = values.max_ignore2;
        
    trial.1to2.insertstimulustime(video.1to2, expressions.cyberdecisiontime);
]
/ stimulustimes = [1= 1to2_static]
/ validresponse = (player1, player3, player1label, player3label)
/ ontrialend = [
    trial.1to2.resetstimulusframes();
    
    values.sumrt_player2 += trial.1to2.latency;
    if (trial.1to2.response == "player1" || trial.1to2.response == "player1label") {
        values.recipient = 1;
        values.count_player2throws += 1;
        values.count_21 += 1;
        values.sumrt_21 += trial.1to2.latency;
        values.count_121 += 1;
        values.sumrt_121 += trial.1to2.latency;
    } else if (trial.1to2.response == "player3" || trial.1to2.response == "player3label") {
        values.recipient = 3;
        values.count_player2throws += 1;
        values.count_23 += 1;
        values.sumrt_23 += trial.1to2.latency;
        values.count_123 += 1;
        values.sumrt_123 += trial.1to2.latency;
    };
]
/ branch = [
    if (values.recipient == 1) {
        return trial.2to1;
    } else if (values.recipient == 3) {
        return trial.2to3;
    };
]
</trial>

However, in the returned data (see screenshot), there are a large number of '0's, which I think may be because player1 and player3 are not recorded as hesitation times for virtual players. However, again, it's not all '0's, it looks like '500' and '1000' are possible numbers as they are one of the randomized times, but why again '800'? I've checked the code but still can't explain this and wondered if you had any good insights?


Thank you very much for the time you put into this!

Best,
Yingying
