Psiturk.taskdata

psiturk.taskdata

taskdata is a Backbone model that is used to store all data generated by a participant and to sync it to the database.

taskdata has the following fields with these default values:

condition: 0
counterbalance: 0
assignmentId: 0
workerId: 0
hitId: 0,
useragent: ""
currenttrial: 0
data: ""
questiondata: {}
eventdata: []

These variables are either set during initialization or using the methods of the PsiTurk object. However, since taskdata is a Backbone model, you can always access their values directly using the Backbone set and get methods, which may be useful for debugging. For example:

psiturk.taskdata.set('condition', 2)
psiturk.taskdata.get('condition')
