Adaptive and behavior #184

Closed bartkrekelberg closed 2 years ago

bartkrekelberg commented 2 years ago

@alexanderATvision noted that if some aspect of behavior (e.g. fixation) is not completed, an adaptive parameter (e.g. staircase) should probably not be updated (even if the subject managed to give a response).

Previously this could only be achieved by setting the behavior (e.g. fixation) to be required and failEndsTrial to true. But if fail does not end the trial a response would have been processed and used to update the adaptive parameter.

This branch adds the option t add 'requiredBehaviors' to the adaptive parameter. It is backward compatible (by default there are no requiredBehaviors)

The adaptiveDemo has some text and code to explain this new option.

Good find. This seems OK to me.
