The game begins with unparameterised SJ_START (1) and ends with SJ_END (19) followed by SJ_ENDSCREEN_CONTINUE (7). The game also is considered to have ended if the begin code for any other mini-game occurs. The game comprises multiple iterations of three phases: the maze task (which can be used as a measure of executive function), the Embedded Figures Test (where reaction times measure perceptual disembedding), and the "Sally-Anne" test of theory-of-mind.
Each level of the maze task begins with parameterised SJ_START (2) and ends with parameterised SJ_END (19). Each level of the maze task is interrupted by invocations of the Embedded Figures Test, and punctuated by an invocation of the Sally-Anne test. These latter two tests also can be invoked directly from the menu, without going through the maze test.
The Embedded Figures Test begins with SJ_EFT_START (49) and ends with SJ_EFT_END_FAIL (44) or SJ_EFT_END_SUCCESS (50).
The Sally-Anne test begins with SJ_SAT_START (52) and ends with SJ_SAT_END (53).
Following is a list of all the event codes, then a summary of the relevant behavioural and electrophysiological derived measures to extract:

| Theory-of-Mind Task Events | ||
| 52 | SJ_SAT_START | The theory-of-mind test (a.k.a. the "Sally-Anne test") has begun. |
| 53 | SJ_SAT_END | The theory-of-mind test (a.k.a. the "Sally-Anne test") has ended, after feedback has been given to the player. |
| 55 | SJ_SAT_Video_Stop | The currently active video has ended, and the player is being prompted to have it repeated or to continue.
|
| 56 | IGNORE (VideoReplay) | (This code should not be being transcribed onto the parallel port and thus should not be appearing in the EEG log.) |
| 58 | SJ_SAT_INPUT_Continue | The player has pressed the space bar, signalling readiness to view the next video stimulus. (This same numeric code also can appear with the notation "IGNORE" in which case it should not be being transcribed to the parallel port and this should not be appearing in the EEG log.) |
| 59 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_CargoDrop Planet={TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT} | The video showing the friendly space captain depositing the cargo on one of the planets has started. |
| 60 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Pirate_Drop Planet={TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT} | The video showing the pirate depositing the cargo on another planet has started. The PLANET parameter will always differ from that of the previous SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Pirate_Theft. |
| 61 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Pirate_Theft Planet={TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT} | The video showing the pirate's theft of the cargo has started. The PLANET parameter will always be the same as that of the previous SJ_SAT_VideoStart_CargoDrop. |
| 62 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Pirate_NoTheft Planet={TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT} | The video showing the pirate's scan (but no theft) of the cargo has started. The PLANET parameter will always be the same as that of the previous SJ_SAT_VideoStart_CargoDrop. |
| 64 | SJ_SAT_INPUT_Response_Top | In response to a request to plot an intercept course, the player has pressed the up-arrow key, indicating a course to the TOP planet. |
| 65 | SJ_SAT_INPUT_Response_Bottom | In response to a request to plot an intercept course, the player has pressed the down-arrow key, indicating a course to the BOTTOM planet. |
| 66 | SJ_SAT_INPUT_Response_Left | In response to a request to plot an intercept course, the player has pressed the left-arrow key, indicating a course to the LEFT planet. |
| 67 | SJ_SAT_INPUT_Response_Right | In response to a request to plot an intercept course, the player has pressed the right-arrow key, indicating a course to the RIGHT planet. |
| 68 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_NoTheft_Correct | In the control condition in which no theft has occurred (probability 1/3), the player's response to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") has correctly indicated the planet on which the cargo was originally cached by the captain (and on which it remains cached).
|
| 68 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_NoTheft_Incorrect | In the control condition in which no theft has occurred, the player's response to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") has indicated a planet other than that on which the cargo was originally cached by the captain (and on which it remains cached).
|
| 70 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Scan_Correct | In the scenario in which the admiral scans the pirate stealing and re-caching the cargo (probability 1/3), and reports this information to the captain, the player's correct response to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") actually indicates higher-order theory-of-mind: the captain believes that the pirate believes that the captain believes that the cargo remains in the planet where the captain had originally cached it, thus the player's answer indicating the same PLANET as in the preceding SJ_SAT_VideoStart_CargoDrop and SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Cruiser_View_Theft is correct.
|
| 70 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Theft_Correct | In the scenario in which the pirate steals and re-caches the cargo (and the admiral cannot scan this activity and thus can't report anything to the captain) (probability 1/3), the player has correctly responded to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating that the captain will go to the planet on which she originally cached the cargo — that is, the same PLANET as in the preceding SJ_SAT_VideoStart_CargoDrop.
|
| 71 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Theft_IncorrectTrueLocation | In the scenario in which the pirate steals and re-caches the cargo (and the admiral cannot scan this activity and thus can't report anything to the captain), the player has responded incorrectly to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating the true location of the cargo rather than the location believed by the captain. |
| 72 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Theft_IncorrectOtherLocation | In the scenario in which the pirate steals and re-caches the cargo (and the admiral cannot scan this activity and thus can't report anything to the captain), the player has responded incorrectly to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating one of the two planets that harbours neither the captain's original cache nor the pirate's subsequent cache. (This should hardly ever happen, and when it does happen it's as likely to be a consequence of keypress error as any other factor.) |
| 74 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Scan_IncorrectFakeLocation | In the scenario in which the admiral scans the pirate stealing and re-caching the cargo, and reports this information to the captain, the player has responded incorrectly to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating the captain's original hiding place (as though the admiral had not reported to the captain the pirate's new hiding place). |
| 75 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Scan_IncorrectOtherLocation | In the scenario in which the admiral scans the pirate stealing and re-caching the cargo, and reports this information to the captain, the player has responded incorrectly to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating one of the two planets that harbours neither the captain's original cache nor the pirate's subsequent cache. (This should hardly ever happen, and when it does happen it's as likely to be a consequence of keypress error as any other factor.) |
| 76 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_NoTheft_Correct | In the control condition in which the pirate scans but does not steal the cargo, the player has responded correctly to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating the planet on which the captain cached the cargo.
|
| 76 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_NoTheft_Incorrect | In the control condition in which the pirate scans but does not steal the cargo, the player has responded incorrectly to the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") by indicating one of the three planets that did not harbour the cargo.
|
| 78 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_Scan_Correct | In the scenario in which the admiral scans the pirate stealing and re-caching the cargo, and reports this information to the captain, the player has responded correctly to the second-order question ("Where will you send a ship to intercept the pirate?") by indicating the planet on which the captain had originally cached the cargo. Because the pirate wants to find the captain, and the pirate believes (incorrectly) that the captain believes that the cargo remains where the captain originally cached it, the pirate will indeed go to the planet where the cargo was originally cached.
|
| 78 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_Theft_Correct | In the scenario in which the pirate steals and re-caches the cargo (and the admiral cannot scan this activity and thus can't report anything to the captain), the player has responded correctly to the second-order question ("Where will you send a ship to intercept the pirate?") by indicating the planet on which the captain had originally cached the cargo. Because the pirate wants to find the captain, and the pirate believes (correctly) that the captain believes that the cargo remains where the captain originally cached it, the pirate will indeed go to the planet where the cargo was originally cached.
|
| 79 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_Theft_IncorrectTrueLocation | In the scenario in which the pirate steals and re-caches the cargo (and the admiral cannot scan this activity and thus can't report anything to the captain), the player's response to the second-order question ("Where will you send a ship to intercept the pirate?") incorrectly reports the planet to which the cargo was moved by the pirate, instead of the planet on which the captain originally cached the cargo. Although the captain wants to find the cargo, the pirate wants to find the captain. Thus the pirate will move not to the planet on which he cached the cargo, but to the planet that he (correctly) believes that the captain believes the cargo is on, that is, the planet on which the captain originally cached the cargo. |
| 82 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_Scan_IncorrectTrueLocation | In the scenario in which the admiral scans the pirate stealing and re-caching the cargo, and reports this information to the captain, the player's response to the second-order question ("Where will you send a ship to intercept the pirate?") incorrectly reports the planet to which the cargo was moved by the pirate, instead of the planet on which the captain originally cached the cargo. Although the captain wants to find the cargo, the pirate wants to find the captain. Thus the pirate will move not to the planet on which he cached the cargo, but to the planet that he (incorrectly) believes that the captain believes the cargo is on, that is, the planet on which the captain originally cached the cargo. |
| 83 | SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_Scan_IncorrectOtherLocation | n the scenario in which the admiral scans the pirate stealing and re-caching the cargo, and reports this information to the captain, the player's response to the second-order question ("Where will you send a ship to intercept the pirate?") incorrectly reports one of the two planets that harbours neither the captain's original cache nor the pirate's subsequent cache. (This should hardly ever happen, and when it does happen it's as likely to be a consequence of keypress error as any other factor.) |
| 84 | SJ_SAT_FirstOrder_Question_Presented SJ_SAT_SecondOrder_Question_Presented | After the explanatory text ("The captain wants to pick up the cargo. She will steer her ship to the planet where she thinks the cargo is. The pirate wants to find the captain. He will steer his ship to wherever he thinks the captain will go."), the first-order question ("Where will you send a ship to meet up with the captain?") or the second-order question ("Where will you send a ship to intercept the pirate?") has just been asked.
|
| 85 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Cruiser_View_Theft Planet={TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT} | The video showing the admiral's viewing of the theft has started. The PLANET parameter will always be the same as that of the previous SJ_SAT_VideoStart_CargoDrop.
|
| 85 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Cruiser_NoScan | In the scenario in which the pirate has stolen and re-cached the cargo, and the admiral cannot scan this activity and thus can't report anything to the captain, the video showing only noise and interference on the admiral's viewscreen has started.
|
| 87 | SJ_SAT_VideoStart_Cruiser_View_NoTheft Planet={TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT} | In the control condition in which no theft has occurred, the video showing the admiral's view of the pirate's scanning but not stealing the cargo has started. |
