By Ulrike Nestler - 11/19/2015
Hello,
I scripted my own version of the Spatial N-Back task. Inquisit even runs the entire script. After presenting the end instructions, the program closes, shuts down and I get a note from windows Explorer: "Inquisit no longer works".
The funny thing is, Inquisit still gives me the data sheet for the raw data. But the summary sheet I don't get. And like I said the entire program shuts down... It shows in the background that it is trying to store results and seconds later i get the information that it just broke down...
Maybe someone can tell me what I am doing to Inquisit? Did I script something wrong for the summary data sheet?
The following is the script. For a better understanding: 2 practice blocks (1 easy, 1 hard), 4 experiment blocks (easy1, hard1, easy2, hard2). And yes I need to know the single data of every trial.
I really hope someone can find the bug in it. And especially why Inquisit is just shutting down like that? Am I asking too many parameters and it can't calculate it anymore?
I am reallly looking forward to an answer.
Kind regards,
Ulrike Nestler

The problem is a fatal error in one of your <expressions>
<expressions>
...
/errors_hard = (expressions.errors_hard + expressions.oe_hard)
...
</expressions>
Note that the expressions refers to *itself*, i.e., it is recursive. This cannot be sensibly evaluated (i.e., there can be no meaningful end result), leads to an infinite loop (the expression runs itself over and over again) and ultimately a crash.
A personal request: If possible, please do not paste entire scripts into the message body. Instead use the forum's file attachment facilities to attach the actual script file. Thanks.

Hello Dave,
yes, thanks so much! That was the error! A writing mistake due to lack of concentration I guess... And yes, of course, next time I will use the attachment facilities. Sorry, didn't see it.
Have a great day!
Kind regards,
Ulrike
