Pausing and reorienting behaviors enhance the performance of a spatial working memory task

Please cite these data and the articleGeorge, A. E., Stout, J. J., &amp; Griffin, A. L. (2023). Pausing and reorienting behaviors enhance the performance of a spatial working memory task. <i>Behavioural Brain Research</i>, <i>446</i>, 114410.These are source and raw/processed data from the publication titled "Pausing and reorienting behaviors enhance the performance of a spatial working memory task". This includes IdPhi estimates, as well as position data used to estimate those values.To begin, load "zidphi_final.mat" into MATLAB. The variable "struct_allrats" contains raw and processed behavioral data, including zIdPhi (see Redish, 2016 Vicarious Trial and Error). The "struct_allrats" data are a structure array, where row represents rat and columns represent data or metadata.If trying to access x and y coordinate data (recorded using LEDs to track rat head movement) from the rat named "Baby Groot" (first row), you would write the following:x_data = struct_allrats(1).xPos;y_data = struct_allrats(1).yPos;The x_data and y_data variables are cell arrays in the same size as the number of sessions (struct_allrats(1).sessionfolder) and as such, x_data{1} is the x-coordinate data from rat #1 on session #1. The shape of x_data{1} represents the number of runs recorded from the delayed non-match to position task. So if length(x_data{1}) = 36, then we recorded 36 runs on the DNMP task. <b><i>This should not be confused with trials. </i></b>If you write the following in MATLAB: figure; plot(x_data{1}{1},y_data{1}{1}), you would plot the trajectory used (stem through T-junction run) for IdPhi estimation.For advanced indexing, you would use the struct_allrats(1).tsPos variable combined with struct_allrats(1).IntThe struct_allrats(1).Int file is used to get Timestamps, accuracy, and trajectory information from a session. struct_allrats(1).Int{1} is the Int file for the first session of the first rat in the structure array. Column #1 represents timestamps for stem entry, Column #5 represents T-junction entry, Column #6 represents T-junction exit, Column #2 is goal-zone entry, Column #7 is goal-arm entry, Column #8 is startbox entry.Accuracy information: Column #4 of the Int file. 0 = Correct. 1 = Incorrect.Trajectory information: Column #3 of the Int file. 1 = Left, 0 = Right (this may dependent on the dataset).Trials on the DNMP task consist of a sample run and choice run. If the size of the Int file is 36x8, that indicates 36 runs or 18 trials (1 sample, 1 choice). <b>Odd numbered rows are sample runs, even numbered rows are choice runs</b>.
