Description
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone had suggestions on how to interpret result data, because as it stands the data that I have accumulated is hard to understand. For example, with the spatial memory task we have results corresponding to “score”, "number of games”, "number of failures” etc. but are unsure how to interpret these (i.e., does a higher score = better memory?). The activities we have included are: spatial span, paced auditory serial addition test, visual acuity, finger tapping performance, contrast sensitivity and hearing.
From my understanding, there is no available documentation on this topic, but researchers have used these tasks so there must be some guide to interpretation. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Research direction
Review the result fields for spatial span, paced auditory serial addition, visual acuity, finger tapping performance, contrast sensitivity, and hearing. Document what metrics such as score, number of games, and number of failures mean, including whether higher values indicate better performance and how researchers should interpret them.
