Subject: Seeking Assistance with Calculating Variables in Qualtrics Survey Task

Dear Community,

I am seeking specific guidance and support regarding challenges I am facing in accurately calculating variables within my Qualtrics survey task. I am encountering an issue where all scores are consistently returning as 0 during data analysis, despite implementing JavaScript code for variable calculation.

Here's the JavaScript code snippet I've been using within my Qualtrics survey task:

```javascript
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
    let trials = {};
    let totalGoTrials = 0;
    let totalResponseTimeGo = 0;
    let omissionCount = 0;

    document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
        try {
            if (event.code === 'Space' && !event.repeat) {
                const wordElement = document.getElementById('word');
                if (wordElement) {
                    const word = wordElement.textContent.trim();
                    const responseTime = performance.now();

                    if (stimulusResponseMap[word] === 'nogo') {
                        trials[word] = trials[word] ? trials[word] + 1 : 1;
                    } else if (stimulusResponseMap[word] === 'go') {
                        totalGoTrials++;
                        if (!event.defaultPrevented) {
                            omissionCount++;
                            // Increment omission count and update embedded data
                            let currentOmissionCount = parseInt(Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("omissionCount")) || 0;
                            currentOmissionCount++;
                            Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("omissionCount", currentOmissionCount);
                        } else {
                            totalResponseTimeGo += responseTime;
                        }
                    }
                } else {
                    console.log('Word element not found');
                }
            }
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('An error occurred:', error);
        }
    });

    // Additional code for page submit, ready, and unload events
    // (Omitted for brevity)

});
```

Any guidance or suggestions to identify and address the root cause of this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
