Stroop Active Task Export Format

  • Updated

In the Stroop Active Task, the participant is prompted with text shown in a specific color. The text and color may not match (e.g., the screen may show the text "RED" printed in blue). The user is given multiple attempts.

When your project uses the CSV export format for Survey Results, data for Active Tasks is exported in the file SurveyStroopResults.csv. When your project uses the JSON export format, Active Task data is included in the file SurveyResults.json.

For a typical survey using this task, you'll expect to see:

  • One survey result each time the participant completes the survey.
  • One step result representing the Active Task.
  • Multiple Stroop results for that step, one per attempt. The default is 10 attempts.

Sample JSON Export

Note that since the JSON export is included in the SurveyResults.json file, some of the reference keys either do not apply, or are part of the overall survey step data.
