Description
Label a supplied speaker transition and flag a speaker-ID change.
Developmental research records separate actual observations, coder presence, task versions, response states, caregiver reports and exposure counts. Calendar age differs from developmental status, while a symbol match or parent-teacher rating gap is only a recorded comparison. Pseudonyms and supplied source labels do not themselves protect identity or validate evidence.
Label a supplied speaker transition and flag a speaker-ID change.
When to use this tool
Use Research Play Turn Taking Transition when you already have previousSpeakerId, currentSpeakerId and need to label a supplied speaker transition and flag a speaker-ID change.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter previousSpeakerId, currentSpeakerId. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read speakerChanged, transitionKey. Inspect speakerChanged before interpreting the associated values.
Require both IDs nonempty; compare them literally and encode [previousSpeakerId,currentSpeakerId] as JSON-array text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| previousSpeakerId | Previous Speaker Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| currentSpeakerId | Current Speaker Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| speakerChanged | Speaker Changed | Required. Boolean. |
| transitionKey | Transition Key | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"previousSpeakerId": "A",
"currentSpeakerId": "B"
},
"output": {
"speakerChanged": true,
"transitionKey": "[\"A\",\"B\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No audio, conversational turn, timing, social behavior or participant identity is verified.
- 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 the complete study or assessment method, observation records and context for developmental interpretation. Review task adaptations, reporter perspectives and data protection together; local counts, time gaps and status labels do not establish ability, diagnosis or suitable support.
