Combine two surveypages on the “trial-level”?

I´m tryingto design a very complex experiment consisting of a combination of trials andsurveypages.

I have allof the study pieces designed yet.

 

The design:

  1. Instructions(change until key press)
  2. FixationCross (for 500msec)
  3. Prime-Picture(for 3000msec)
  4. Surveypage(target-picture and radiobuttons-question) (change until key press)
  5. Surveypage(displaying the same target-picture and slider) (change until key press)
  6. FixationCross (for 500msec)
  7. Prime-Picture(for 3000msec)
  8. Surveypage(target-picture and radiobuttons-question) (change until key press)
  9. Surveypage(depicting the same target-picture and slider) (change until key press)

And so on... (overall 240 Trials)

 

My problem:

I´d like todesign a trial, presenting the prime,followed by two surveypages (two different questions, that can´t be displayed on one page, but one after another),displaying the same target-picture.


Therefore it is necessary to combinethe two surveypages on the „trial-level“, instead of creating a “survey” on the “block-level”,because I need to define the different combinations (determining the condition, randomization, ...) on the “block-level”, whichwill be integrated in one experiment.

Is thereany way to combine two surveypages on the “trial-level” instead of the "block-level"?

Yes. <surveypage> elements *are* <trial> elements. You can run them via a <block>'s /trials attribute or /branch to them from a <trial> just like any other <trial> element.
