The HCRC Maptask consists of a total of 128 dialogues. These are
divided into 16 quads of eight two-person dialogues in which four
speakers participated in different combinations. In 8 quads the
speakers were able to make eye contact during the task and in the
other eight a screen was put between them so that eye contact was
impossible.
The Dialogues are named as follows: q[1-8][e|n]c[1-8]

q3ec7 - quad 3, with eyecontact, conversation 7
