Description
Return instruction-presentation totals and remaining budget.
Developmental research records may encode task eligibility, known responses, observer roles and withdrawal. A flag or support share describes supplied observations and does not independently assess a child, verify consent or establish a clinical interpretation.
Return instruction-presentation totals and remaining budget.
When to use this tool
Use Child Study Instruction Repeat Count when checking explicit developmental-study record and observation rules.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter initialPresentations, repeats, maximumPresentations. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read total, remaining, exceeded. Inspect exceeded before interpreting the associated values.
Return instruction-presentation totals and remaining budget. Require nonnegative whole initialPresentations, repeats and maximumPresentations; total = initial+repeats, remaining = maximum-total, exceeded uses strict >.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| initialPresentations | Initial Presentations | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| repeats | Repeats | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| maximumPresentations | Maximum Presentations | Required. Safe integer; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| total | Total | Required. Safe integer. |
| remaining | Budget minus use, in the same units; a negative value indicates excess use. | Required. Safe integer. |
| exceeded | Exceeded | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative remaining is retained; the supplied maximum is not a recommended child-testing protocol.
- 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.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use an approved study protocol and appropriate professional assessment for participant decisions, developmental interpretation or clinical questions.
