Description
Compare explicitly supplied research recall timing, without clinical interpretation.
Research questionnaires and interview records distinguish answered, declined, omitted, unpresented, and inapplicable items. Timing and support annotations also affect their denominators. A completeness measure or scale transformation describes those records without establishing an instrument score or a mental-health assessment.
Compare explicitly supplied research recall timing, without clinical interpretation.
When to use this tool
Use Research Recall Window Gap when you need the particular completeness, timing, polarity, or bookkeeping term for supplied research and interview records.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter eventAt, interviewAt, recalledDuration. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read actualRecallDuration, recallGap, eventPrecedesInterview. Inspect eventPrecedesInterview before interpreting the associated values.
Return actualRecallDuration=interviewAt-eventAt, recallGap=recalledDuration-actualRecallDuration, and eventPrecedesInterview for ordered event timing. Require nonnegative recalled duration.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| eventAt | Event At | Required. Finite number. |
| interviewAt | Interview At | Required. Finite number. |
| recalledDuration | Recalled Duration | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| actualRecallDuration | Actual Recall Duration | Required. Finite number. |
| recallGap | Recall Gap | Required. Finite number. |
| eventPrecedesInterview | Event Precedes Interview | Required. Boolean. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Actual duration may be negative when inputs are reversed. Times and recall units must match; this does not assess memory, symptoms, recall reliability, or a psychiatric condition.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- 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. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the relevant validated instrument and its documented missing-response and scoring procedures when the task requires an assessment. Verify research annotations and timing before combining record terms.
