== How to Fill in our New Database File ==
Open the file Stimuli Database from {{{/p/hlp/materials/StimuliDatabase.xls}}} on slate. [''edit: I looked at this file, and it had a lot of pictures, but no videos. I'm still looking around to see if I can find an old video database, but in the meanwhile I've started a new database with the videos created by Cassandra Donatelli for Masha Fedzechkina and Jacqueline Gutman. These videos were too recent to have been listed in the old database anyway. ---JG''] Save your work back to Slate every time with an updated date!!!

The following Table provides Explanations for every heading/field in the excel sheet. Whenever a video does not have one of these items, leave the field blank.
