Re: [Pebl-list] Requesting help to modify Paired Associate Learning test

[Shane M. <smu...@ob...>]

This wouldn't be hard to do if you were familiar with PEBL, getting to 
that point where you could implement it easily would probably be a lot 
of effort. There are a number of tutorials available on the website,  
but the code for the paired associates task itself is pretty 
minimal---it wouldn't take much effort to implement that in another way, 
especially if this isn't for a graduate research project.

[Pebl-list] Requesting help to modify Paired Associate Learning test

[Nitya E. <nit...@gm...>]

Good morning,
I am Nitya Ann Eapen, a Research Associate interested in *multisensory
learning*. I wish to use PEBL for this purpose by using the* Paired
Associate Learning test*. However, since we are looking at multisensory
integration, we would like to introduce stimuli in various modalities
(visual + auditory). Would you kindly share tutorials on how we can do
this? Any tutorials on PEBL programming language perhaps? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

[Pebl-list] PBEL WIKI PAGE

[Celine Le R. <LRX...@my...>]

Hello,

I’ve been using your application for data collections as part of my dissertation. I’ve tried to access the WIKI page to look at generated output variables and see that it is no longer working (see: https://pebl.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page). Is there any way to get access to this information necessary for conducting analyses?

Thanks,
Celine le Roux

[Pebl-list] Lost data enquiry

[Holly W. <ha...@ba...>]

Good evening,

I hope this email finds you well. I am a Masters student at the University of Bath and I have been using pebl v2.1 to collect data for my dissertation. Specifically, I have been using the stroop.vic and pcpt test batteries. Unfortunately, an error has occurred when saving participant data. When saving participant files to my laptop, pebl provides an excel spreadsheet and a txt file for the outputs. I have lost the txt files for each participant but have got participant spreadsheets. Is there a way that the txt files can be retrieved or generated from the excel spreadsheets for each participant? I have attached the pooled data files for the stroop.vic and the pcpt in case this is something you can help me with, although pebl does not save column headings for these folders.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Best wishes,
Holly Wilson

Re: [Pebl-list] PEBL on Ubuntu

[Shane M. <smu...@ob...>]

I use ubuntu as my primary set-up, so yes you can definitely do so.  But 
I don't package because it is straightforward to compile.

If you download the source archive from the last release, you should be 
able to complie once the required libsdl libraries are installed, and 
maybe a few others if you want optional other features.  There are a few 
things you can turn on or off in the Makefile. You need the 2.0 branches 
of libsdl2 libraries, which you should be able to get with

the main ones include libsdl2-dev, libsdl2-gfx-dev, lbsdl2-image-dev 
libsdl2-ttf-dev  and their library counterparts, which you should be 
able to get with:

apt-get install libsdl12*-dev libsdl2*

Also used are libsdl2-mixer, libsdl2-net, but these can be turned off.

There are a few other developer-based libraries you need--probably g++ 
and maybe dos2unix.

Once unzipped, you should be able to type

make

make install

then pebl can be run via command lineusing

> pebl2

or a specific script

> pebl2 scirpt.pbl

Let me know if you hit a stumbling block and I'll walk you through it.

Re: [Pebl-list] PEBL on Ubuntu

[Alan M. <am...@al...>]

Ubuntu is Debian-based, so it can use .deb packages?


Not sure is 2.1 is available, but 0.14 has .deb packages:

Re: [Pebl-list] Questions about using the BART

[Shane M. <smu...@ob...>]

Adi,

The following parameters seem to work for me to create the version you 
are asking about:

allowAutoPump,0
startballoonsize,10
moneyperpump,0.05
life1,8
life2,16
life3,128
use1,1
use2,0
use3,0
trialsperset,15
phase1,1
phase2,0
minpumps,0

You can just make sure you set them using the parameters interface, or 
copy this into a parameters file after you create it.  Mine is called 
bart.pbl.par in the parameters\ folder.

Best,

Shane

Good morning,

I would like to access the Battery.  I tried to make the payment, but I
couldn't from the page.

I am a Neuropsychologist in Argentina. I am interested in collaborating
with the project, providing translation and publication of normative data.

[Pebl-list] Questions about using the BART

[Adi R. <Adi...@du...>]

Hello,

Thank you so much for all that you do to make PEBL available, it's hugely appreciated.

I am hoping to use the BART through the PEBL for my dissertation research, but am running into some questions. I would like to use a shortened version (just 15 balloons total). When trying to edit the parameters, I can change the number of trials per set, but I'm not clear on how many sets there are and how to change this so that I get to 15 trials total. I also only want to use one type of balloon, rather than 3, but am unsure how to change that in the parameters.

I would appreciate any support you can offer on making these adjustments to the parameters. Thank you so much!

[Pebl-list] Windows 11

[Samuele C. <sam...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've been using PEBL on an old Surface Pro 4 tablet, on which it works 
very well (including using the touchscreen). In our lab we need to buy a 
new tablet to run experiments with PEBL. However, it's starting to get 
difficult to find Surface Pro tablets with Windows 10. Does PEBL run on 
Windows 11? Has anyone tested it on Surface Pro tablets with Windows 11?

Kind regards,

Samuele Carcagno

Re: [Pebl-list] PEBL not saving to correct ID

[Nicole K. H. <dha...@as...>]

Hi Shane,

I am using the PEBL 2.1. Yes, I am entering the code each time into the entry box. I also know to hit enter to ensure the red edit mode goes away.

Nonetheless, the program still overwrites the participant id to be 079, if there isn’t one already saved to the data folder. If there is one in the folder, it will still try to overwrite to 079 and I will get the "add new session”/“rename file” page. If I manually hit rename for each individual test when this page pops up, then the data will correctly save.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Nicole Haikalis

Re: [Pebl-list] PEBL not saving to correct ID

[Shane M. <smu...@ob...>]

Nicole,

Please give me a bit more detail about how you are launching/running.  
What launcher are you using? Are you entering the participant code into 
the participant code entry box each time, or are you expecting it to 
auto-update the number?

One thing that used to happen is that if you enter a new number in the 
text box, it won't update the value until you hit enter (and the red 
edit mode box around the text entry goes away).   In this case, if you 
run before you have hit enter, it will run but with the original 
unedited participant code.  This bug existed a few years ago and I fixed 
it, but maybe after the last release so it might still be effecting the 
version you are using.

If this doesn't work, please contact me off-list and we will figure out 
what is going on.

[Pebl-list] Question about PEBL Stimuli

[Curtis C. <cr...@um...>]

Hello,

I hope this email finds you well. Our lab is considering building a study
in PEBL. We have developed stimuli so participants can detect direction of
motion for various types of objects and speeds in a point-light walker
display, with distractors continually present. Each condition is captured
in movie files (e.g., .mp4, .avi, and so on).

Can PEBL display this type of stimuli (movie files) and capture participant
responses to them? I've reviewed the tutorial and the test battery, and I
can only find text, images, and audio files present.

Thank you for your time,
Curtis

[Pebl-list] Creating a Standalone Package for MacOS Users

[Brittany S. <bls...@go...>]

Hi,

In your tutorial on creating a standalone package, you allude to being able
to make this work for MacOS. I'm in the process of using this for my
dissertation; unfortunately, I'm finding that many of my participants only
have access to mac computers. Can you instruct me on how to create a chain
that can be accessed remotely without having to download the launcher for
those without access to a Windows machine?

Sincerely,
Brittany Sapp

Re: [Pebl-list] Citing PEBL as source

[Shane M. <smu...@ob...>]

Camilla, 

The best way to cite PEBL and the PEBL test battery is via the 2012
paper:

Mueller, S. T., & Piper, B. J. (2014). The psychology experiment
building language (PEBL) and PEBL test battery. _Journal of neuroscience
methods_, _222_, 250-259. 

The WPT task itself, I have a recent conference abstract using it, but
I'm not sure if it appears anywhere else in published manuscripts: 

Mueller, S. T., Hoffman, R. R., Klein, G., Alama, L, Mamun, T., (2019).
Evaluating a computational model of sensemaking on the berg card-sorting

Hi PEBL team!

I am an incoming postdoc at UCSF and would like to use PEBL in some of my
upcoming studies.

We are planning to investigate the effects of psilocybin on cognitive
function. Testing will occur pre- and post-drug to assess drug effects.
Since we are using a within-subjects design, and because testing will take
place only weeks apart, we are concerned about practice/learning effects.
As such, I have two questions for you:

1) Are there any specific experiments on PEBL that you believe have strong
test-retest reliability? Conversely, are there any that have poor
test-retest reliability and should be avoided for our purposes?

2) Do any of the experiments on PEBL have multiple versions? i.e., two
different versions that we could administer pre-drug versus post-drug so
that participants are not seeing the same exact test both times.

We are specifically interested in cognitive flexibility, so the following
tests are of interest:
Berg's Card Sorting Test
Switcher Task
Probabilistic Reversal Learning

Thank you!

Best,
Maddie

[Pebl-list] Translation of the tests

[Manal C <che...@gm...>]

Hello,
I'm a college student, pursuing a master degree in neurosciences, and I
just recently came across your website.
First of all, I would like to thank you for providing such important
information and making it accessible to everyone, especially students who
can't necessarily afford it. I would like to contribute to this project by
helping with the translation of some tests. I'm moroccan and I speak French
fluently.
Please let me know if I could be of any help

pedro, 

Most of the variables calculated are documented in various
neuropsychological testing books. There are references in the report
file to look these up, and many come from the PAR manual, which we base
the PEBL version on roughly. 

To answer further questions: 

* 'Perseverations' is just a count of whether they used the same
response as the previous trial. These are not necessarily errors.  Most
people are not interested in total perseverative errors,, which is what
totperserr is. 

* The PAR-derived measures use a sandwich rule to determine whether
something is an error or a persevaration. it is quite complex and cannot
be calculated until after the test is completed.  You can examine the
PAR manual for that, or review the code. We have tested the PAR score on
a sample of about 200 participants and found that it is correct for all
those cases; and furthermore the error rate for hand-scoring according
to the PAR guidelines were substantial.  The PEBL perseveration score is
much less conservative and will call things as persevarative errors that
the PAR will not.  I don't know if there are any head-to-head
comparisons of whether one is more valid, but we provide both for
compatibility.  Learning-to-learn is documented in neuropsych handbooks 
that describe WCST measures. It is the mean differential increase in
accuracy after the first  set. If you got 5% better on each set,
learning-to-learn would be .05.

Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this - apologies, I´m new to this!
I am researching if there are any differences between bilingual and monolingual samples in inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. I would like to assess this by using two batteries, the victoria stroop to measure inhibitory control and the Wisconsin Sorting Card Test to measure flexible cognitivity. I am struggling to understand how some of the variables in the output data file for the WSCT are calculated. Specifically I was hoping someone could help me understand the following:
1) What´s the difference between "totPers" and "totPersErr"?2) How is "learning to learn", "conceptual" and the "PAR" variables calculated? 
Again apologies if this is not the correct place to ask. I´ve tried the PEBL manual, discussion forums and google and haven´t found anything to help me answer my questions.
Your help is much appreciated :)
Thanks!Pedro

[Pebl-list] PEBL Test Execution

[Riederer Y. <ry...@st...>]

Dear PEBL-Team,



I am using the two PEBL-tasks "Simple Response Time" and "Tapping" for my master thesis.

Within both tests, I would like to change the input type from the default option (pressing the "X"-key or the "A"-key respectively) to a mouse click. Up to now, I could not figure out how to edit the code in a way that the tests work properly.


Can you give me any advice on how to solve this issue?


Many thanks for your feedback!



With best regards

Yanick Riederer
