Hey again,

I have one last question concerning my script before it is finished. I would be happy if somebody could help me again!

In my script I show pictures (4 different trials). After each picture a surveypage must be completed. The surveypage is linked to the picture via /branch, e.g.:

<trial kitsch>
/ontrialbegin = [values.myvalue = floor(rand(3000,5000))]
/ stimulustimes=[0=fixationCross; 500=kitsch]
/branch = [surveypage.ratingPage]
/timeout = 30500 + values.myvalue
/ pretrialpause= values.myvalue
</trial>

The ratingPage consists of four questions.

The script works fine. When I ran it and finally looked into the data-file, I recognized the following:

For the trial (e.g.) kitsch, the picture shown in this trial (the file name of this picture) is stored in the variable stimulusitem2 (you can find the data attached). But for the surveypage-trial the file-name of the picture to which the questions are refering to isn't stored. Is there a possibility to do so? 

Here is the complete code:

^^^Im folgenden Teil des Experiments werden Ihnen einige Kunstwerke für jeweils 30 Sekunden präsentiert. Bitte betrachten Sie diese so wie Sie es mit Kunstwerken in einem Museum oder einer Gallerie tun würden. ^^Nach der Präsentation jedes Kunstwerks werden Ihnen vier Rating-Fragen gestellt. Beantworten Sie diese bitte so ehrlich wie möglich. Nachdem Sie die Fragen beantwortet haben, wird Ihnen das nächste Kunstwerk präsentiert bis sie alle gesehen und bewertet haben.

^^^^Bitte drücken Sie die Leertaste, um das Experiment zu starten.

Thanks a lot and best regards

The surveypage doesn't display any image, so there is no reason it shoud store something. If you want to store something, you should create a variable

<values>
/ currentimage = ""
</values>

store the image name in that variable at the end of your <trial> elements

<trial japanese>
/ontrialbegin = [values.myvalue = floor(rand(3000,5000))]
/ ontrialend = [values.currentimage = picture.japanese.currentitem]
/ stimulustimes=[0=fixationCross; 500=japanese]
/branch = [surveypage.ratingPage]
/timeout = 30500 + values.myvalue
/ pretrialpause= values.myvalue
</trial>

<trial kitsch>
/ontrialbegin = [values.myvalue = floor(rand(3000,5000))]
/ ontrialend = [values.currentimage = picture.kitsch.currentitem]
/ stimulustimes=[0=fixationCross; 500=kitsch]
/branch = [surveypage.ratingPage]
/timeout = 30500 + values.myvalue
/ pretrialpause= values.myvalue
</trial>

and then log that variable to the data file along with everything else you need logged by specifying the <data> element's /columns

<data>
/ columns = [date, time, subject, group, blocknum, blockcode, trialnum, trialcode, stimulusitem, stimulusitem, values.currentimage, response, latency, correct, ...]
...
</data>
