**General note**
----------------
Files are uploaded as raw data, either tidy ("tidydata_") or processed ("data_") data files in separated folders. R scripts can be found within this project.
"tidy" data files are run with R Script "01-Tidy.R" for data checks, transformation of some variables, replacement of outliers values, and calculation of some new scores.
"processed" data files are run for data analyses with R scripts "ANTIVea-Analyses.R"
Files in "data_MWQ_total" are processed data files to be used in script "Questionnaires_MW_total.R".
In most of data files, the following variables are included:
• Participant: coded as integer
• Group: representing the group based on the frequency of thought probes per block (4, 8, or 12).
**ANTIVea (tidy and/or processed data files)**
------------------------------------------
For the sake of clarity, variables are described in separated sub-groups. Note that this might not follow the order of variables in the data files.
General information
• Age/ Edad: integer for informed years old.
• Sex/Género: informed sex as woman (1), man (2), or non-binary (3).
• Laterality/Lateralidad: informed handedness dominance as right-handed (1), left-handed (2), ambidextrous (3)
• Experiment: lab or online.
Trial and blocks
Note that trials and blocks are coded using Python numeration, that is, starting at 0 and not at 1 in tidy_lab. (LAB= Laboratory data, Online = Online data):
• TrialNumber: identification integer for the order of each trial. Not used in data analyses.
• Trial_Type:
- NoVigilance (Lab)/Anti (Online): ANTI trials for measuring the
independence and interactions of phasic alertenss, orienting, and
executive control; and the noise trials to compute false alarms for
the executive vigilance task.
- EV: trials for measuring the detection of infrequent critical signals
in the executive vigilance sub-task.
- AV: trials for measuring the arousal vigilance component in the
reaction time sub-task.
• Block.thisRepN (LAB): NA = Practice block; 0 to 5, experimental blocks to analyze the vigilance decrement across time on task, TP or main effects and interactions in ANTI trials.
• Block: 0 = Practice block; 1 to 6, experimental blocks to analyze the vigilance decrement across time on task, TP or main effects and interactions in ANTI trials.
• Block.thisTrialN(LAB): integer about sequential order of trials 0 to 79 within each experimental block.
• Block.thisN(LAB): integer about sequential order of trials within the session.
Responses
• Correct_Answer:
o 'm' for ANTI trials when the target points to the right.
o 'c' for ANTI trials when the target points to the left.
o 'space' for executive vigilance trials (i.e., infrequent displaced targets).
o 'any': in arousal vigilance trials, there was no correct response.
• StimuliResp.RT in ms (LAB) /Reaction.time (Online): reaction time in milliseconds. This variable combines separate variables for measuring reaction time in each type of trial (ANTI_Resp.rt, VE_Resp.rt, VA_resp.RT, VA_Countdown_RT2).
• ANTI_Resp.corr: accuracy in ANTI trials as 1=correct response, 0=incorrect response.
• VE_Resp.corr: accuracy in executive vigilance trials as 1=correct response, 0=incorrect response.
• ANTI_Resp.keys: response in ANTI trials.
• VE_Resp.keys: response in executive vigilance trials.
• VA_Resp.keys and VA_Resp_opc.keys: response in arousal vigilance trials, within or after the down counter presentation, respectively.
• mouse_2.x(LAB)/ ClickPosNorm (Online): Response to the thought probes: -1 indicates off-task and 1 indicates on-task.
Factorial design for the trials of the ANTI sub-task
• Tone: warning signal condition (no tone, tone), for measuring phasic alertness.
• ValidityCue (LAB) Validity (Online): cueing condition (invalid, no cue, valid), for measuring attentional orienting.
• Congruency: congruency condition (congruent, incongruent), for measuring executive control.
Stimuli features and position
• TargetDirection: direction pointed by the target arrow (left/right).
• Flankers_direction: direction pointed by the flanking arrows (left/right).
• Cue_position: the position of the visual cue regarding the fixation point (up/down).
• Arrows_position: the position of the string of arrows regarding the fixation point (up/down).
• Variables including "Coord" in their name: variables regarding the position of the target ('Target') and the flankers (Distractors at left: 'DistL1', 'DistL2'; Distractors at right: 'DistR1', 'DistR2') in the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) axis.
Additional variables in processed data file.
For further details on these variables, please see the script "Tidy.R".
• Distance_T_D: the maximum vertical distance between the target and the closest adjacent flankers.
• FA_difficult: false alarms computed only from 'space' response in a subset of "Distance_T_D" scores.
• Filter_RT: 1 = responses with RT > 200 ms and < 1500 ms; 0 responses with RT < 200 ms or > 1500 ms. Trials = 0 were excluded from analyses in ANTI trials.
