Description
Record an initial/final response-key pair and flag whether it changed.
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 an initial/final response-key pair and flag whether it changed.
When to use this tool
Use Response Change Initial Final Key Pair when checking the stated benign experiment record, timing, allocation or payoff convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter initialKey, finalKey. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read changed, keyPairJson. Inspect changed before interpreting the associated values.
Require nonempty initial/final key tokens. Return literal inequality as changed and JSON [initialKey,finalKey] as keyPairJson.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| initialKey | Initial Key | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| finalKey | Final Key | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| changed | Changed | Required. Boolean. |
| keyPairJson | Key Pair Json | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"initialKey": "left",
"finalKey": "right"
},
"output": {
"changed": true,
"keyPairJson": "[\"left\",\"right\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No response event timing, key identity, intended answer or behavioral meaning is inferred.
- 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.
