Repeat both practice instructions and practice block

Hi


I am working on modifying the n-back letter task script from Inquisit's tasks library.


I have managed to set up the script so I can repeat each practice block, e.g.:


<block RepeatPractice0back>
/trials = [1 = repeatpractice]
/ recorddata = false
/ branch = [if (trial.repeatpractice.response == 45)block.practice_s_0task]
/ screencolor = (0,0,0)
</block>


However, I would like to repeat both the instructions (these are in a separate block called "block.0backinstruct_start") and the practice block ("block.practice_s_0task"). I am just not sure how to add the instruction block to the /branch command. This doesn't work:


<block RepeatPractice0back>
/trials = [1 = repeatpractice]
/ recorddata = false
/ branch = [if (trial.repeatpractice.response == 45)block.0backinstruct_start; block.practice_s_0task]
/ screencolor = (0,0,0)
</block>


Can anybody help?


Thanks!

From the repeat block, /branch to the instructions block. From the instructions block, /branch to the practice block.
