Response Key Handedness Tag

Label a supplied response-key and hand mapping without inferring participant handedness.

Description

Label a response key with its supplied handedness 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.

Label a response key with its supplied handedness convention.

When to use this tool

Use Response Key Handedness Tag when checking the stated benign experiment record, timing, allocation or payoff convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter keyName, responseHand, mappingVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read tag. Use the output convention below.

Require nonempty keyName/mappingVersion and responseHand left, right, both or unspecified. Encode [mappingVersion,keyName,responseHand] as JSON text.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • This records response mapping without inferring handedness, response ability or actual input-device behavior.
  • 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.
