Notes
This field indicates the layout of symbols presented as a test. (This information can be derived from
Field 20200 and is only presented explicitly for the 2014 version).
The tests were described by an outer array of 33 symbol-digit arrays each containing the digits 0-7. To present some element of unpredictability between participants, each run of the program chose a random starting point in the outer array and presented tests from that point onwards (looping back to the origin if required). The outer array was zero-indexed, so that a value of 0 in this field means that the first symbol-digit array was used for the Coding array.
To illustrate, suppose a participant was allocated the value 5 for their start array. Then round 1 would use Array 5 [values 3,5,2,0,4,6,1,7] for the Code and Array 6 [6,3,7,2,4,5,0,1] for the Test. Round 2 would still use Array 5 for the Code but Array 7 [1,4,5,6,0,7,2,3] for the test etc.
The test arrays are listed below, and also in Data-Coding 500 with the symbol dictionary shown in Resource 111.

The first round (attempts 0-7) used a constant fixed pattern [2,4,6,1,3,5,7,0] for the Code Array and [7,1,5,4,6,0,3,2] for the test Array for all participants.
