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
- Enter observed, expected, required. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- 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
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| observed | Observed | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| expected | Expected | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| required | Required | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| failedIndexes | Failed Indexes | Required. Array of safe integer; maximum items 256. |
| exclude | Exclude | Required. Boolean. |

} 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.
