Dataset Description Avoidance Learning RL Models

This dataset contains trial-level data from an avoidance learning task. This data was first collected using a task repo and then processed using the data extraction repo. Finally, it the data was processed using the analysis repo, which we will use here (see project pipeline on home). So, these data are the output of the analysis repo. There are two different datasets, one for the learning phase (e.g., pain_learning_processed.csv) and one for the transfer phase (e.g., pain_learning_processed.csv). The details of these files will be outlined below, however, now all columns are needed for this repo. The analysis script exports all columns at the end of processing, regardless of whether it will here be important or not.

Column Descriptions

Column Name	Description
participant_id	Unique identifier for each participant.
trial_type	Type of trial, either "learning-trials" or "probe"
symbol_L_name	Identifier for the symbol presented on the left. May be 75R1, 75R2, 25R1, 25R2, 25P1, 25P2, 75P1, 75P2, Zero (neutral in transfer phase).
symbol_R_name	Identifier for the symbol presented on the right. May be 75R1, 75R2, 25R1, 25R2, 25P1, 25P2, 75P1, 75P2, Zero (neutral in transfer phase).
symbol_L_value	Numerical value assigned to the left symbol on that trial. 0=Novel, 1=75P, 2=25P, 3=25R, 4=75R
symbol_R_value	Numerical value assigned to the right symbol on that trial. 0=Novel, 1=75P, 2=25P, 3=25R, 4=75R
feedback_L	Feedback value associated with the left symbol. May be -10, 0, or 10. This will be empty for the transfer phase.
feedback_R	Feedback value associated with the right symbol. May be -10, 0, or 10. This will be empty for the transfer phase.
context_val	Encoded task context value: 1 (reward), -1 (punishment)
context_val_name	Human-readable description of context_val, e.g., "Reward" or "Loss Avoid".
symbol_names	Context names, dissociating between the different pairs within each context (Reward1, Reward2, Punish1, Punish2).
symbol_name	Context names, collapsing across similar pairs (Reward, Punish).
trial_number	Trial number within a given symbol's presentation history (e.g., trial number for 75R1).
binned_trial	Trial bin based on its position in the task (Trials 1-6=Early, Trials 7-12=Mid-Early, Trials 13-18=Mid-Late, Trials 19-24=Late).
choice_made	Binary indicator for the participant's choice: 1 for right, 0 for left.
symbol_chosen	The numerical value of the symbol that was chosen on the trial.
symbol_ignored	The numerical value of the symbol that was not chosen on the trial.
paired_symbols	Identifiers for each unique pair, respective of their symbol values. e.g., 4_1 is 75R versus 75P
accuracy	Accuracy score for the trial, 100 for correct and 0 for incorrect.
rt	Reaction time in milliseconds.
duration	Self-report string describing current pain state, e.g., "I am not in pain" or "1 – 5 years".
group_code	Participant group code (typically categorical or condition label): "no pain", "acute pain", or "chronic pain".
intensity	Self-reported pain intensity rating.
unpleasant	Self-reported unpleasantness rating.
interference	Self-reported rating of pain interference with daily life.
composite_pain	Composite pain score (e.g., average of intensity, unpleasantness, and interference ratings).
age	Participant's age in years.
sex	Participant’s reported sex (e.g., "Female", "Male", "Other").
