'$[Name]' Procedure.
$[ProcedureName=nAFC]
{
$[AFCType=Spatial]
{
The procedure was a spatial $[AFCn]-AFC task:
the subject had to indicate the position of the target stimulus based on the stimulus $[NameLevel].
The $[AFCn] stimuli were displayed according to a $[AFCSpatialConf] configuration with an eccentricity of $[AFCEccentricity] deg.
}
$[AFCType=Temporal]
{
The procedure was a temporal $[AFCn]-IFC task:
the subject had to indicate which temporal interval contains the target stimulus based on the stimulus $[NameLevel].
}
$[PedestalValue<>0]
{
The stimulus $[NameLevel] level was superimposed on a pedestal of $[PedestalValue] $[RTdelayRange<>0]{±$[RTdelayRange] according to a $[PedestalType] distribution}.
}
}
$[ProcedureName=Yes/No]
{
Missing Description for $[ProcedureName] procedure.
}
$[ProcedureName=Disc]
{
The subjects' task was to discriminate between $[DiscN] conditions of the stimulus $[STIMULUSPARAMETERS].
}
$[ProcedureName=Adjust]
{
The subjects' task was to adjust the stimulus $[NameLevel] level.
The procedure started with a $[NameLevel] level randomly selected in the range $[AdjustMeanInit]±$[AdjustRangeInit].
The step size was $[AdjustStepSize] in $[AdjustStepSizeType] terms.
$[AdjustAdaptive=Yes]
{
This adjustment procedure automatically terminated after $[AdjustNbReversals] reversals
$[AdjustMaxTrials<>0]{or after $[AdjustMaxTrials] trials}
and reported the $[NameLevel] level averaged across the last $[AdjustAnalyzedReversals] reversals.
}
$[AdjustAdaptive=No]
{
This adjustment procedure stopped when the subject decided to
$[AdjustMaxTrials<>0]{or after $[AdjustMaxTrials] trials}
and reported the last value of the $[NameLevel] level.
}
}
Subjects provided their responses using a $[ResponseDevice] device ($[DECISION]).
$[ResponseEndStimulus=Yes]{Their responses ended the $[ResponsePostStimulus=Yes]{trial}$[ResponsePostStimulus=No]{stimulus interval}$[ResponsePostStimulus?0]{trial}.}
$[ResponsePostStimulus=Yes]{They were allowed to respond only during the post-stimulus interval.}
$[ResponseTimeLimited=Yes]{Their response in the post-stimulus interval was limited to $[ResponseTime] s.}
$[AuditoryInd=Yes]{An auditory indicator was emitted at the beginning of each stimulus interval.}
$[TempMod<>None]
{
The duration of each stimulus interval was $[DURATION] seconds,
and the overall contrast of each stimulus interval was $[TempMod] enveloped with a sigma of $[TempSigma] seconds centered on the temporal window.
}
$[TempMod=None]{The stimuli were presented abruptly.}
$[FixationMark=Yes]{A fixation mark was present during the stimulus interval [in the center of the display] and subjects were asked to maintain their fixation during the whole presentation.}
$[Feedback=Yes]{Auditory feedback was given after each trial.}
The duration of the inter-stimulus and inter-trial intervals was $[ISI] seconds.
$[CollectRT=Yes]
{
Reaction times were collected, and a random delay ($[RTdelayMean]±$[RTdelayRange] seconds with a $[RTdelayType] distribution) was introduced before each stimulus interval,
from which one can estimate the tendency for a subject to make an anticipation error. Subjects were asked to respond as fast and reliably as possible.
}
$[MultipleResponseCollection=Yes]
{
Multiple responses were collected in the same trial.
$[PressReleaseDetection=Yes]{Input releases were also recorded.}
$[ReportSelectionNumber=Yes]{The number of responses for each input was recorded.}
$[ReportTotalDuration=Yes]{The total duration for each input was measured.}
$[ReportSwappingStatistics=Yes]{The swap statistics was reported for each trial.}
}
Observers.
The observers were the authors (authors initials) and number additional subjects (their initials). All have normal or corrected-to-normal vision, and all have normal color vision according to the Farnsworth–Munsell 100 Hue Test. Practice trials were run before the experiments commenced. All experiments were done under binocular conditions.
