mousetrap

mousetrap imports, preprocesses, analyzes, and visualizes mouse-tracking data to investigate the temporal dynamics of psychological processes involved in information integration and preference formation.

Key Features:

• Data Import: Imports mouse-tracking data for subsequent processing and analysis.
• Data Preprocessing: Preprocesses raw mouse-tracking data to prepare it for analysis.
• Movement Analysis: Analyzes mouse movement trajectories to examine temporal dynamics of psychological processes.
• Visualization: Visualizes mouse-tracking data and analysis results.
• Novel Analytical Approaches: Implements both established and novel approaches for movement-tracking analysis.

Scientific Applications:

• Process Tracing: Tracks hand or handheld device movements to study psychological processes during choice tasks.
• Information Integration Research: Investigates how information is integrated over time during decision-making.
• Preference Formation Studies: Examines the temporal dynamics of how preferences develop during the choice process.

Methodology:

mousetrap uses high-resolution tracking of hand or handheld device movements during choice tasks, with analysis steps implemented in R.
