Description
Return attention-duration support within valid task observations.
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 attention-duration support within valid task observations.
When to use this tool
Use Trial Attention Support Share when checking explicit developmental-study record and observation rules.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter durations, taskActive, validObservation, attentive. Keep parallel arrays aligned. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read validTaskDuration, attentiveDuration, share, defined. Inspect defined before interpreting the associated values.
Return attention-duration support within valid task observations. Require aligned nonnegative durations and taskActive/validObservation/attentive flags; sum valid active time and its attentive subset, dividing only when the denominator is positive.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| durations | Durations | Required. Array of finite number; minimum 0; maximum items 256. |
| taskActive | Task Active | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| validObservation | Valid Observation | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| attentive | Attentive | Required. Array of boolean; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| validTaskDuration | Valid Task Duration | Required. Finite number. |
| attentiveDuration | Attentive Duration | Required. Finite number. |
| share | Dimensionless ratio on the explicitly stated numerator and denominator basis. | Required. Finite number. |
| defined | Whether the stated denominator is nonzero; inspect this before using the associated ratio. | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The zero-total share is an undefined placeholder; supplied attention codes are not independently evaluated.
- 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.
