Groups of Subjects

Subject Groups

This is a common topic for MovALyzeR, GripAlyzeR & ScriptAlyzeR. These programs will be referred to as MovAlyzeR on this page.

After creating an experiment, the particular experiment is expanded, otherwise double-click on Experiments.

When defining new groups, they will be added to a master list and can be selected for other experiments. This assures consistency of the entire database. Changes of the group are specific to that experiment. However, these changes will be overwritten by changes in the master list.

* To create/add a new group

* To remove a group from an experiment

* To delete a group

To create/add a new group

Go to the 'Groups' folder for the user > Create new..

o The group properties window is displayed.

o Enter a unique, 3-letter ID (must differ from reserved directory names CON and NUL), a description, brief notes, and 'OK'.

To add groups to an experiment

o Right-click on Groups under a particular experiment > Add Group(s).

o At this point you can decide to create one or more groups to be added to the existing list (master list) by clicking the '+' button (or click the x button to remove irreversibly from the list).

o Select the Group(s) to be added and 'OK' (groups previously added are not available).

To remove a group from an experiment

o Go to the group under an experiment> right click > remove from experiment..

This will detach the group (and the subjects under that) from the experiment, however, the group will be available to the other experiments from the master list.

The data under all the subjects of the experiment group will also be retained. Hence, if you add the group and the subjects back to the same experiment, any existing data trials are restored.

To delete a group

o Navigate to the 'groups' folder, where all the groups for the user are listed.

o Right click on the group ID > delete..

NOTE: A message will be displayed to indicate if the group is attached to any experiments. Clicking Yes confirms that the group will be removed from all the experiments it has been added to and the corresponding trial data under the experiment groups will be permanently removed.
