Protocol

This is a general overview. You need to know some stuff about the lab, the project, and your expectations. If you have a question and there's not an answer here, let someone know. :) lab resources

Project overhead

Project folder

• Have access
• Understand its structure (readme files)
• Know when/where to read/write
• What’s your and others’ responsibilities?
  • You vs. primary project manager (Mark)
  • Peers (other RAs) or other project managers (grad students or PIs)

Design experiment

• Stimuli are controlled for visual features (all made the same), normed if necessary.
  • Something better than pixton
  • Python scripts
• IV and controls: Counterbalance made; experimental versions made.
  • Python scripts or excel
• Experiment design
  • Eprime or python
  • DV and controls: measures in place and tested.

Set up, run experiment

• Updated counterbalance version administered identically to all participants.
  • Log and report all runtime data, errors, participant log, daily.
  • Input all 100% unambiguous data points (e.g. e-prime; debrief questions)
  • Operationalize data entry for subjective (e.g. named responses).
  • Report on experiment log on box.com

Code data

• Coding criteria defined.
• Coders trained
• Subset coded for intercoder reliability.

Process data

• Read/clean r code
• R summary statistics

Report results

• Make/modify figures in R.
• Set up/modify poster templates.
