handedness_scoreFloatRecommendedTotal Handedness computed by totalling number of responses where right hand is used and those where left hand is used and inputting to the formula right minus left dvided by right plus leftComputed by the formula (r-l)/(r+l) where r = total number of responses on the form where the participant indicated they use their right hand (even if they also use their left hand to do that action, i.e. use both hands) and l = total number of responses participant indicated left hand for (including actions participant also uses right hand for, i.e. both hands)
src_subject_idStringRequiredSubject ID how it's defined in lab/project
interview_dateDateRequiredDate on which the interview/genetic test/sampling/imaging/biospecimen was completed. MM/DD/YYYY
interview_ageIntegerRequiredAge in months at the time of the interview/test/sampling/imaging.0::1440Age is rounded to chronological month. If the research participant is 15-days-old at time of interview, the appropriate value would be 0 months. If the participant is 16-days-old, the value would be 1 month.
