FACS Multiple Passes - Lexical

For each pass, a separate start file is available in the predefined code definitions, that can be found in ..\Mangold INTERACT Data\CodeDefinitions\Demos\FACS\FACS-Event Based\FACS 6 Passes - Lexical

▪Open the ‘00_xxx.key’ start file that fits your pass.

▪Click on any AU to set its start time (you can start multiple Events, one for each AU)

▪Let the video play or step through the video on a frame by frame base (F10 & F11 or the ARROW KEYS)

▪Click the same AU again to set its offset.

After the offset is set, the video automatically pauses and the next level Codes to label the Intensity appears:

▪Click the required Intensity of the current Event.

Again the Codes changes, as the next level, containing the 'Laterality' Codes, appears:

▪Click the fitting Laterality for the current Event.

After 'Laterality' is coded, INTERACT automatically returns to the current top level file with AU’s.

▪Start the video again to continue coding (press F7)*

*) Per default, the Lexical coding mode activates the coding option Pause after logging an Event’. If this annoys you, disable this option within the Observation Settings dialog.

Log Peaks

The Peak codes are available for every AU as a standalone Code, without duration and they can be coded whenever required, without interrupting any of the other, still open Events.

Analysis

Directly after coding, you get the statistical details on:

•The frequency and duration for each AU, independent of its Intensity and Laterality!

•Frequency and duration per AU and Intensity, independent of its laterality

•Frequency and duration per AU and Laterality, independent of its intensity

If you need the frequency and duration for each occurring AU-Intensity- Laterality combination:

▪Run the Move & Combine Codes routine to create a new Class and combine all Classes.

The resulting Code combinations hold exactly that information.
