I'm working in PsychoPy to design an experiment. It's almost complete, but I'm trying to output a few variables that I created in a code component into my data file for the experiment, and I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Here is some relevant code:
if branch == 1:
if money.keys == 'left':
feedback = 'You chose $10 immediately'
TotalNow = TotalNow + 10
add = (amount - 10)/2
amount = add + amount
elif money.keys == 'right':
feedback = 'You chose $%.2f in two weeks' %(amount)
TotalLater = TotalLater + amount
TLtext = '%.2f' %(TotalLater)
amount = (amount + 10)/2
elif money.keys in ['', [], None]:
feedback = 'You did not make a choice. No reward given.'
amount = amount
if branch == 2:
if money.keys == 'right':
feedback = 'You chose $10 immediately'
TotalNow = TotalNow + 10
add = (amount - 10)/2
amount = add + amount
elif money.keys == 'left':
feedback = 'You chose $%.2f in two weeks' %(amount)
TotalLater = TotalLater + amount
TLtext = '%.2f' %(TotalLater)
amount = (amount + 10)/2
elif money.keys in ['', [], None]:
feedback = 'You did not make a choice. No reward given.'
amount = amount
I would like to output the following variables into the data file: 'TotalLater', 'TotalNow', and 'amount'. I've tried a few things, but it doesn't seem that I'm close. Any help would be appreciated.
Use the addData() method of the current experiment handler (which by default is named thisExp in Builder:
# specify each column name and its associated variable:
thisExp.addData('TotalLater', TotalLater)
thisExp.addData('TotalNow', TotalNow)
thisExp.addData('amount', amount)
Do this at the end of the relevant routine to save the current values for that trial.
