Rules for Meta-analysis Coding
:ation
Use one Publication Information sheet for each publication.
Use as few Experiment Information sheets as necessary.
A Unit is the smallest level at which the most basic hypothesis (usually psi versus no psi) was tested.
Results for a hypothesis that cannot be reconstructed from the basic units should be coded as a separate
experiment
,
The Type should be listed as O: correlation
.
For an experiment, staple together all Unit Information sheets with the Experiment Information sheet on
top
Chp together all experiment packets from the same publication.
Number all of the sheets consecu-
tively within a publication.
Circle (or slash) the appropriate choice.
Use
[
] around data to indicate a coder guess or calculation.
If Other (O:) then specify.
rent Parameters. Known Target Parameters and Feedback
•
Use publication date if Experiment date is unknown.
Generally, independent variables are those manipulated by the experimenter.
However,
this space can
also be used for variables that differ unintentionally within an experiment.
See Rule #4 under “Unit In-
formation".
^f„m i
> lg: LANL experiment is coded as follows: Experiment Type:
RV-Lab:
Principal Hvnntwic-
CNS responds to remote, external stimuli;
Independent Variable-
Timing of remote stimuli.
Targeting Method: Prompting means a sound or gesture (e.g., Gina’s bell).
Shielding is for viewer,
target, or both.
Most feedback is actually multi-mode.
Code the primary mode.
Visual Feedback:
Photograph (e
a
National Geographic Magazine).
Audio Feedback:
Just a sound (e.g.,
Bell from the teaching ma-
chine).
Jtafeal Feedback: Verbal debrief (e.g., You did well.
The target was
...).
£il£ Feedback:
Physical visit to the target site (e.g., Outbound experiment).
nalysis
:
Rank R = number of choices for ranking, including target and all decoys.
Analysis scale, n = maximum,
(e.g., 0 -> 4, n = 4).
Judgment means a qualitative estimate (e.g., by-gosh-by-golly)
;
1 = complete miss,
4 = complete hit
Statistic means z-score or F ratio,
etc.
ormation
:
Unit Name is “Session” for a single RV session, but “Trial” for a single forced choice.
In forced choice
experiments, there are usually several trials in a single session.
Unit I.D.
is blank most of the time.
Use Ops tag when appropriate.
Viewer I.D.
is according to our most current
list.
Therefore,
if a known viewer was listed under an old
I'D.
, note the person’s name so the current I.D. can be entered in the data base.
Parameters that differ should be filled in only for those cases where “differs" was circled on the Experi-
ment Sheet.
If the variable was intentionally manipulated,
circle Y.
P-value should be entered as -1
if
it is unknown,
to avoid confusion with the default missing value code
of 0, which could be a legitimate P-value.
