Description
Record a practice-trial exclusion label under a supplied convention.
Experimental-psychology records separate condition labels, declared masking, timing assumptions, response rules and reward realizations. A supplied random draw can be evaluated without generating randomness, and a threshold comparison does not verify preregistration or establish statistical significance. Experimental validity needs the complete design and source observations.
Record a practice-trial exclusion label under a supplied convention.
When to use this tool
Use Practice Trial Exclusion Label when checking the stated benign experiment record, timing, allocation or payoff convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter trialId, practice, excludePractice. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read excluded, reason. Inspect excluded before interpreting the associated values.
Require nonempty trialId. excluded means practice && excludePractice; reason is practice when excluded, otherwise included under supplied rule.1

}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Trial status and rule are assertions; no source data is removed and actual protocol or preregistration compliance is not 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 verified protocols, calibrated timing, appropriate complete statistical methods and responsible participant/ethics review for actual experimental conclusions.
