Description

Flag required attention-check mismatches.

Behavioral-study coding depends on observation intervals, missing samples, event records and assignment rules. Partial-, whole- and momentary-sampling summaries answer different questions; local agreement or coverage does not establish actual behavior, a diagnosis or an effective intervention.

Flag required attention-check mismatches.

When to use this tool

Use Trial Exclusion Attention Check Token when checking the stated behavioral-research observation, assignment, coverage or coding convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter observed, expected, required. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read failedIndexes, exclude. Inspect exclude before interpreting the associated values.

Flag required attention-check mismatches. Require aligned observed/expected/required arrays; failedIndexes includes required unequal entries, exclude reports any failure.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Expected answers and exclusion policy are supplied; literal mismatch does not establish inattention or justify a research exclusion independently.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use verified observations and the study’s complete sampling/coding protocol, with appropriate statistical and professional interpretation for health or intervention decisions.
