Just wondering exactly what 'session' means? As some sessions are 2 or 3. Some sessions (1 and 2 only) have the same group ID (which I understand is the order of assignment as per the hypothesis; with even representing C v's IC and negative representing IC v's C) that have been completed on different dates.

Session ID is practically relevant for multi-session studies only, i.e. where the same subjects complete the same or different sets of tasks across multiple time points (c.f.  https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/articles/batchscripts.htm under "Repeated Measure Designs Using Batch Elements"). 

Session ID is by default tracked by the server. The first time it sees ID 12345 launch the experiment, that'll be that participant's session ID 1. The next time it'll be 12345's session ID 2, and so forth.

P.S.: Per the data snippets in your post, your question is about Inquisit 6. I have therefore moved your post to the Inquisit 6 section of the forum. Please pick the correct forum section in the future to avoid confusion. Answers will often differ depending on what version you are using.
