Takes in a participant id, set of symbols for which graphemes should be created and participant trial/response data. Returns a Participant instance with all the input data linked to it. For each grapheme, if there are data for less trials than the number specified by n_trials_per_grapheme, NA values are added to affected graphemes' associated vectors of response times/colors.

Usage

create_participant(
  participant_id,
  grapheme_symbols,
  n_trials_per_grapheme,
  trial_symbols,
  response_times = NULL,
  response_colors,
  color_space_spec = "Luv",
  test_date = NULL
)

Arguments

participant_id

A one-element character vector holding a participant id.

grapheme_symbols

A character vector of symbols/graphemes for which Grapheme instances should be created and linked to the Participant instance.

n_trials_per_grapheme

A one-element numeric vector holding the number of trials per grapheme.

trial_symbols

A character vector that holds one symbol/grapheme for each trial of the participant's consistency test run.

response_times

(optional) A numeric vector. Consistency test times from presentation to response, in order.

response_colors

A character vector. Consistency test response colors, as hex color codes.

color_space_spec

A one-element character vector. What color space is to be used? The following color spaces are supported: "XYZ", "sRGB", "Apple RGB", "Lab", and "Luv"

test_date

(optional) A one-element character vector in the format "YYYY-MM-DD" that indicates on what date the participant finished the consistency test.
