Hi everyone,
I've been successfully gathering data using a Stroop task where both congruent and incongruent items were displayed at a 50% ratio. To do so, I've created a block for congruent items, another for incongruent ones and used the "noreplace" function and setting the number of trials to the desired number of trials. I'd now like to do the same but with a different ratio of presentation (like 30% congruent and 70% incongruent for instance). I've been thinking of creating two lists of items and to display them in sequence but doing this would get rid of the random sequence and I'd like that to remain. In sum, I'd like to be able to only change the frequence of the items' display but to present them randomly.
Is there a quick way to do that ?
Thanks or any input,
Best,
Vince.

At the <block>-level with trials as well as at the <expt> level with blocks, you can determine the desired ratio by entering items in the selection pool according to your needs.
/ trials = [1-9 = noreplace(a,a,b)]
will give you a 2:1 ratio of a to be trials, i.e., 6 a-trials and 3 b-trials in random order. The same is true for selecting blocks via an <expt>'s /blocks attribute.
