Hi All, I have been programming a study for a month now for my PhD and I am preparing to collect data next week. I have two surveys for two groups I am testing (one is motivated and one is non motivated). They will be completing a range of executive functioning tasks, there are 3 embedded within my survey. I have been practicing looking at the data and have stumbled across a major problem. I give participants an ID that corresponds to the random group they're placed in for the survey which works fine on the 'data.xlx' file, however when I download the data for my embedded experiments I have no idea which participants has completed what and how to match their experiment scores to the questions asked in the data file? This study is being ran online which means a range of participants could complete it at different times etc. Is there a way to match up these files? And also do I need to have separate experiments embedded in my survey instead of the same 3 in both surveys? (see picture)

Jamesh, When you have the xlsx file each experiment is listed as a string variable for the txt file. In the zip file, you can find the corresponding txt file for each participant. For example, in a current study I had participants randomly placed into one of three conditions where they completed different variations of the same experiment. Columns I, J, and K show the name of the txt file the experiment of each participant (Columns D, E, F, G, and H were added by me after analysis). The txt files are labeled from both date/time completed as well as participant code from column A. As to embedding, There is more than one way to load a survey and get the same output so your last question is really up to you. I find it simplest to load as one survey with conditions and jumps for parts that vary.
