Hi,
I've read all of the documentation about open-ended response questions. However, I cannot figure out why my experiment does not allow participants to enter their text response. The open-ended question is portrayed on the screen but there is no response box for participants to enter their text response. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. My script is pasted below. Thank you!!

Shona,
an <openended> element is *not a stimulus*. An <openended> element *is a <trial>*. You need to run it via a <block> element's /trials attribute just like any other <trial> or <likert> element.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your response. I've entered the openended response box as a trial, as you suggested. However, the openended response box is still not presented. My new script is pasted below. Do you have any ideas as to why it isn't working for me?
Thanks again! *********************************************************************** AFFECT MISATTRIBUTION PROCEDURE (AMP) ***********************************************************************

Shona,
<trial openended>
/ stimulusframes=[1=question]
/ linelength = 10
/ stop = ["4 of hearts"]
/ trialcode = "string"
/ validresponse = (" ")
</trial>calling a <trial> element 'openended' does not make it an <openended> element. Again, an <openended> element *is* a type of trial element. Thus you do:
<openended nameofopenendedelement> ... </openended>
<block nameofblockelement> / trials = [...; 4 = nameofopenendedelement; ...] |

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much for your response. I'm sorry for my continued confusion. I've defined my openended element as a trial. And, it's included in the blocks instructions. However, an openended response box is still not being displayed. Would you please let me know what I'm doing wrong? My updated script is pasted below. Thanks again so much!!

Hi Dave, In the updated script, I no longer refer to the question1, question2, question3, question4, question5 openended elements. I only refer to one openended element, which is the one that is inserted in the block trials, as you noted. Therefore, I don't understand why an openended response box is not being presented. My complete updated script is pasted again below. I'd be so grateful for any advice. Thanks again!

BUT IT IS SHOWN!!!
Look, you first run <trial 16ms> *three times*:
<block test>
/ trials = [1-3 = 16ms; 4 = openended; 5-7 = 32ms; 8 = openended; 9-11 = 64ms; 12 = openended; 13-15 = 80ms; 16 = openended; 17-19 = 96ms; 20 = openended; 21-23 = 1012ms; 24 = openended; 25-27 = 1028ms; 28 = openended; 29-31 = 1044ms; 32 = openended; 33-35 = 1060ms; 36 = openended; 37-39 = 1076ms; 40 = openended]
</block>
That trial expects one of the following responses:
<trial 16ms>
/ validresponse = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7")
/ stimulustimes = [0=fixation; 900=heart; 916=blank; 990=question]
/ trialdata = [heart]
</trial>
Only the *fourth trial* is the openended:
<block test>
/ trials = [1-3 = 16ms; 4 = openended; 5-7 = 32ms; 8 = openended; 9-11 = 64ms; 12 = openended; 13-15 = 80ms; 16 = openended; 17-19 = 96ms; 20 = openended; 21-23 = 1012ms; 24 = openended; 25-27 = 1028ms; 28 = openended; 29-31 = 1044ms; 32 = openended; 33-35 = 1060ms; 36 = openended; 37-39 = 1076ms; 40 = openended]
</block>
So, run that thing, press 1 three times and you'll happily land in your openended trial. That is what you instructed the script to do. |

Wait. I'm so sorry to bother you again but the openended response box still isn't being presented, even after I fixed the trials error that you pointed out. My script is pasted below. Would you please let me know what I'm doing wrong? I'm so grateful for your help!

<trial 16ms>

/ stimulustimes = [0=fixation; 900=heart; 916=blank; 990=question1]
/ trialdata = [heart]
</trial>
The above makes no sense. It is *impossible* to respond "openended" in that <trial>. Thus that trial will never end, and you will never even get to the <openended>. Either define a /timeout and /validresponse=(noresponse) for your <trial> elements, or throw them out go straight to using <openended> elements' /stimulustimes to display the various stimuli. |
By Shona - 6/3/2014
Hi. Thanks for your reply. I do not want to enter a timeout attribute because I want an openneded response box to appear along with the question. In other words, I want both the question and the openended response box to appear on the screen at the same time. Is there any way for me to do that? Thanks again so much for your help,
|
By Dave - 6/3/2014
#1: You can do that even if there is a /timeout. Set the question <text> element's /erase attribute to 'false' and it will remain on screen.
#2: But you *really* should consider the 2nd option I have mentioned many, many times throughout this thread. An <openended> element is a <trial>. Hence, why don't you simply do
<openended 16ms>
/ stimulustimes = [0=fixation; 900=heart; 916=blank; 990=question1]
/ trialdata = [heart]
...
</openended>
<block test> / trials = [1 = 16ms; ...] </block> |
By Shona - 6/3/2014
Now I understand! Sorry for my confusion. Thanks again.
