You can set up your dosage in four ways.
Maximum Number of Opportunities
This limits the number of opportunities that can be collected (e.g. only 5 trials/opportunities per target can be run in each session). You set this up in "Mastery"and you can set this up both when "Mastery" is set to basic mode and to advanced mode.
To set this up when "Mastery" is set to basic mode:
Click on the relevant phase.
Open the "Mastery" section, and use the chevron arrow next to "Maximum trials" to choose "Manual" and define the maximum number of trials for a target by typing in a number.. The default setting is "Automatic". This means that the system will decide on a dosage rule depending on what your session success criteria is.
To set this up when "Mastery" is set to advanced mode:
Click on the relevant phase.
Open the "Mastery" section, scroll to "Dosage/Trial Count" and use the chevron arrow next to "Maximum trials" to choose "Manual" and define the maximum number of trials for a target by typing in a number.. The default setting is "Automatic". This means that the system will decide on a dosage rule depending on what your session success criteria is.
Suggested Number of Opportunities
This allows you to display a particular number of opportunity squares in data collection to indicate the suggested number of trials/opportunities that you would like to have collected. If you would like to have a suggested number of trials (i.e. suggest to your team how many times they should run a certain target), follow the steps above, both in basic and advanced mode, and select the chevron next to "Suggested" and select "Manual". Input a number that reflects how many trials you'd prefer your team to run during a session. Note: If a team member does not meet the suggested number of trials, their data will still be graphed.
Minimum Number of Opportunities
This requires the data collector to collect a minimum number of trials for the session score to succeed or fail. If they don't collect the minimum number, the session outcome will be indeterminant; in this case, the system will graph the score but it will display as a black data point rather than green (succeed) or red (fail), and the data will not count towards mastery/transition. In addition, indeterminate sessions can be filtered out on the graph. With this configuration, Motivity will still allow them to collect more than minimum opportunities and those opportunities will contribute to the session outcome.
You set this up in your "Session Outcome" section of the program builder by selecting the rule that says "at least X trials"
Exact Number of Opportunities
This requires the data collector to collect an exact number of opportunities/trials and no more. If they collect less, the session outcome will be indeterminant. It will still appear on the graph but will display as a black data point rather than green (succeed) or red (fail) and the data will not count towards mastery/transition.
You set this up in Session Outcomes as well by using Advanced Rules and changing the rule to display exactly X opportunities.
