How to save your data in OpenSesame

Saving your data is probably one of the most important parts of running an experiment. OpenSesame does not do this automatically, you must instruct it to do this. This can be done by following the following two steps:

1. In your sequence, add a logger. This can be done by clicking the green '+' button and selecting 'logger'.

2. (a) Now you must instruct the logger on what variables to save. It is recommended to log all variables. In your overview, select 'new_logger' and check the option 'Log all variables'.

(b) You can also choose to only log selected variables. This can be done by clicking 'Add custom variable' and adding in the variables you want to save. 

Now your data will be saved to your documents when a participant completes the experiment!
