Classify commissions and misses in fictional response logs

This tutorial teaches the analysis behind a go/no-go record without asking you to perform the task. You will align a neutral cue sequence with a fictional response log, mark responses made when the record says withhold, mark missing responses when the record says respond, calculate both error types separately and write a narrow conclusion. You will not practise inhibition or use the result to judge a person.

Classify commissions and misses in fictional response logs

This tutorial teaches the analysis behind a go/no-go record without asking you to perform the task. You will align a neutral cue sequence with a fictional response log, mark responses made when the record says withhold, mark missing responses when the record says respond, calculate both error types separately and write a narrow conclusion. You will not practise inhibition or use the result to judge a person.

Authority and safety

  • Governance ceiling: explanation and static fictional record analysis only. Capability self-practice, live administration, protocol delivery and efficacy claims are not authorised until the recorded next_gate adjudication changes.
  • Use only the supplied fictional cue and response logs. Do not run a go/no-go task, respond to cues, add pace or repeat testing.
  • Commission and miss counts cannot establish ADHD, addiction, character, dangerousness, impulse control or real-world restraint.

Exact materials

  • The two completed fictional cue-and-response logs below
  • A position-by-position scoring grid
  • The rule card: G means a response was expected; N means no response was expected
  • The staged key, kept closed until every position is classified

Set up in this order

  1. Write STATIC LOG ANALYSIS ONLY. Do not respond to the cues yourself.
  2. Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly.
  3. At a G cue, mark CORRECT GO when the response log contains that position and MISS when it does not.
  4. At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.
  5. Count G opportunities and N opportunities separately. Calculate miss rate as misses divided by G opportunities and commission rate as commissions divided by N opportunities.
  6. Compare logs descriptively, naming cue order and support. Do not attribute a difference to the reminder because sequence and order also differ.
  7. Finish with a non-claim: the counts describe these fictional logs only and do not measure a person's general inhibition.

Supplied fixture

Completed fictional response logs. A listed response position means the fictional responder acted at that cue.
LogCue sequenceFictional response positionsSupport and context
AG G G N G G N G G N G G1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12No rule reminder; fixed fictional order; burden 3/5
BG G N G G N G G N G G G1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12Visible rule reminder; different fictional sequence shown second; burden 2/5

Scoring rule

Award 1 point per correctly classified position (24), 1 point for each of four correct error counts/rates, 1 for naming the configuration differences and 1 for a bounded non-diagnostic conclusion: 30 points total. Passing requires commissions and misses kept separate and no causal or personal inference.

Worked example

  1. In Log A, position 4 is N and appears in the response list, so mark one commission.
  2. Position 3 is G but does not appear in the response list, so mark one miss.
  3. The remaining G positions have responses and the remaining N positions do not.
  4. Calculate miss rate 1/9 = 11.1% and commission rate 1/3 = 33.3%.
  5. Compare with Log B only descriptively because the second log has a reminder, a different cue sequence and later order.

Correct result: Log A contains one miss and one commission. The calculation is complete without asking the learner to perform a response task or making a claim about a person.

Right and wrong

Right and wrong comparison
MomentRight / saferWrong / riskierWhy
Response on NCount one commission.Count one miss.A commission is an action where withholding was expected.
No response on GCount one miss.Count successful inhibition.The record says G expected a response.
Comparing logsName error counts, support, order and sequence.Claim the reminder improved inhibition.Several features differ and the record is not a causal test.
InterpretingLimit the statement to the fictional logs.Use one commission rate to label a person impulsive.The worksheet is not a clinical or character assessment.

Common mistakes and fixes

Common mistakes and corrections
MistakeFix
All errors are combined.Keep miss and commission numerators and denominators separate.
A response list is treated as the correct key.Align it with the cue sequence position by position.
The second log is called improvement caused by support.Report the design differences and use descriptive wording.

Evidence boundary

What the tutorial may—and may not—claim.

Supportable claim

People improve on practiced inhibition tasks, but current controlled evidence does not establish a transferable inhibitory-control capability.

Measurement boundary

Stroop cost, commission errors and stop-signal latency are task-specific research measures; none establishes character, diagnosis or real-world impulse control.

Myth

Install stronger willpower

Metric

Performance on distinct inhibition tasks plus a predeclared life outcome

Boundary

Practice effects cannot establish transferable self-control.

Negative and limiting findings

  • Adaptive inhibition training failed to outperform active controls at post-test or follow-up and produced no near or far transfer.

Prohibited wording

  • Build unbreakable willpower
  • Cure impulsivity with a game
  • Measure moral self-control
  • Train your brain to say no

Step-by-step learner mode

Each activity includes its success check, a nearby accessible alternative and an “I’m stuck” correction path. Alternatives preserve the target where possible; when they change the task, Titan labels them as related rather than equivalent.

01

Write STATIC LOG ANALYSIS ONLY

Write STATIC LOG ANALYSIS ONLY. Do not respond to the cues yourself.

Why this step exists

“Write STATIC LOG ANALYSIS ONLY” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check

A legible entry directly completes “Write STATIC LOG ANALYSIS ONLY” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

I’m stuck on this step

Reset: Re-read this authored instruction — “Write STATIC LOG ANALYSIS ONLY. Do not respond to the cues yourself.” — and its success check, then attempt only this step.

  1. Possible snag: The learner starts tapping along.

    Correction: Stop; this authority ceiling permits record analysis only.

Stop / get help: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. Stop if the declared configuration cannot be maintained, uncertainty becomes material, adverse effects appear, or qualified authority is required.

02

Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly

Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly.

Why this step exists

“Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly” keeps this lesson inside its declared record-analysis boundary and prevents the supplied scenario from being mistaken for physical practice.

Success check

A legible entry directly completes “Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

I’m stuck on this step

Reset: Re-read this authored instruction — “Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly.” — and its success check, then attempt only this step.

  1. Possible snag: The result from “Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly.” does not yet meet this declared check: A legible entry directly completes “Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

    Correction: Return to the start of “Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly”, reduce complexity or pace, and repeat only the part needed to satisfy: “A legible entry directly completes “Number each cue position and copy the fictional response positions exactly” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.”

Stop / get help: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. Stop if the declared configuration cannot be maintained, uncertainty becomes material, adverse effects appear, or qualified authority is required.

03

At a G cue, mark CORRECT GO when the response log contains…

At a G cue, mark CORRECT GO when the response log contains that position and MISS when it does not.

Why this step exists

“At a G cue, mark CORRECT GO when the response log contains that position and MISS when it does not” fixes the exact Inhibitory control configuration or decision before later observations are compared.

Success check

A legible entry directly completes “At a G cue, mark CORRECT GO when the response log contains that position and MISS when it does not” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

I’m stuck on this step

Reset: Re-read this authored instruction — “At a G cue, mark CORRECT GO when the response log contains that position and MISS when it does not.” — and its success check, then attempt only this step.

  1. Possible snag: A response list is treated as the correct key.

    Correction: Align it with the cue sequence position by position.

Stop / get help: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. Stop if the declared configuration cannot be maintained, uncertainty becomes material, adverse effects appear, or qualified authority is required.

04

At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged…

At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.

Why this step exists

Keep this exact Inhibitory control action explicit and reviewable: “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.”

Success check

Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.”

I’m stuck on this step

Reset: Re-read this authored instruction — “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.” — and its success check, then attempt only this step.

  1. Possible snag: The result from “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.” does not yet meet this declared check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.”

    Correction: Return to the start of “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged…”, reduce complexity or pace, and repeat only the part needed to satisfy: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “At an N cue, mark CORRECT WITHHOLD when no response is logged and COMMISSION when a response is logged.””

Stop / get help: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. Stop if the declared configuration cannot be maintained, uncertainty becomes material, adverse effects appear, or qualified authority is required.

05

Count G opportunities and N opportunities separately

Count G opportunities and N opportunities separately. Calculate miss rate as misses divided by G opportunities and commission rate as commissions divided by N opportunities.

Why this step exists

“Count G opportunities and N opportunities separately” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check

The work shows the value requested by “Count G opportunities and N opportunities separately”, retains the supplied units or signs and leaves any unsupported value unknown.

I’m stuck on this step

Reset: Re-read this authored instruction — “Count G opportunities and N opportunities separately. Calculate miss rate as misses divided by G opportunities and commission rate as commissions divided by N opportunities.” — and its success check, then attempt only this step.

  1. Possible snag: All errors are combined.

    Correction: Keep miss and commission numerators and denominators separate.

Stop / get help: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. Stop if the declared configuration cannot be maintained, uncertainty becomes material, adverse effects appear, or qualified authority is required.

06

Compare logs descriptively, naming cue order and support

Compare logs descriptively, naming cue order and support. Do not attribute a difference to the reminder because sequence and order also differ.

Why this step exists

“Compare logs descriptively, naming cue order and support” isolates the named evidence distinction so the learner can interpret Inhibitory control without extending the claim.

Success check

The output directly answers “Compare logs descriptively, naming cue order and support”, names the relevant distinction and stays within the supplied record.

I’m stuck on this step

Reset: Re-read this authored instruction — “Compare logs descriptively, naming cue order and support. Do not attribute a difference to the reminder because sequence and order also differ.” — and its success check, then attempt only this step.

  1. Possible snag: The second log is called improvement caused by support.

    Correction: Report the design differences and use descriptive wording.

Stop / get help: Titan teaches a complete Power-specific research method because operational capability practice is not currently justified. Stop if the declared configuration cannot be maintained, uncertainty becomes material, adverse effects appear, or qualified authority is required.

07

Finish with a non-claim: the counts describe these fictional logs only and do not measure a person's general inhibition.

Why this step exists

“Finish with a non-claim: the counts describe these fictional logs only and do not measure a person's general inhibition” keeps this lesson inside its declared record-analysis boundary and prevents the supplied scenario from being mistaken for physical practice.

Success check

Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Finish with a non-claim: the counts describe these fictional logs only and do not measure a person's general inhibition.”
