Hi there,

I was wondering whether anyone may be able to help me. My apologies if I’m not being clear here – I’m very much an Inquisit beginner. I’m looking to link stimuli between blocks. Is this at all possible? If so, what type of code would I be looking at? In essence (this is the amended version) I’d like to link A to B and 1 to 2, but A is presented about 3 blocks earlier than B, and 1 3 blocks earlier than B (in the same block). Whilst A and 1 need to be randomised in the first block.

I have this in the 1^st block

<sound block1>

/ items = ("Sound Files\A", "Sound Files\1")

/ select = noreplace

/ playthrough = true

</sound>

And this in the 2^nd block

<sound block 6>

/ items = ("Sound Files\B", "Sound Files\2")

/ select = linked(block1)

/ playthrough = true

</sound>

But I keep getting the message: /select: Could not locate element 'sound'.

I’ve tried manipulating the text provided under the Inquisit Help Index Option “Select” but with no success.

I’ve also tried creating blocks to see whether I could create two sets of blocks (instructions, stimulus, questions) and randomise the stimulus part, but I’m having problems getting the <exp> section to actually randomise a group of blocks within a set of blocks.

Can anyone help here?

Thank you!

Alex
