drop down responses

Shona — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 07:55:19 GMT

Hi,

I would like a dropdown option box to appear at the end of each trial. I've programmed a dropdown box called "question", which should be called up at the end of each trial. However, when I try to run my script, a message pops up saying "could not locate element 'question'". Do you know why this is happening? I'd be so grateful for your help. My script is pasted below.

Dave — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 07:55:19 GMT

As I've tried to explain repeatedly: Any survey-type stuff is *left-aligned*. That includes <caption> elements. For any element, such as a <caption>, positioned at 50% horizontally this means:

|---------------|---------------|
|                               |
|<-----50%----->Caption         |
|                               |
|                               |
|                               |
|                               |
|                               |
|                               |
|---------------|---------------|

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 07:51:46 GMT

Hi Dave. I did create a separate caption element and I did use the position element to center it. (see script below) When I tried centering it at 50%, it appeared on the screen to the left. That;s why it's not 50%. Do you know why? Thanks again!

Captions (and any survey elements in general) are left-aligned. You cannot center them. If need be, define a separate <caption> element and use its /position attribute to place it according to your preferences.

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 07:26:06 GMT

I'm so grateful for your help! Just one more question. When I specify that the caption and dropdown box should be 50% on the x (horizontal) coordinate, they do not appear to be exactly centered on my screen. In fact, I have to specify 30% in order for it to be centered on my screen. Do you know why this is the case? Similarly, the finish button appears slightly to the right of center. How can I get these things to be presented precisely in the middle of any screen that they will be presented on? Thanks again!

[quote][b]Dave (6/15/2014)[/b][hr]Shona,

a <dropdown> element is *not a stimulus*. It *cannot* be displayed via a <trial>'s /stimulustimes or -frames. What you need to do is put that dropdown on a <surveypage> and then run that page after the <trial> presenting the other stimuli.
[/quote]

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:51:11 GMT

Thank you so much!! One more question: is there any way for me to present the dropdown box and the caption simultaneously after the other stimuli have been presented on the screen (i.e., at the end of each trial)?

RE: drop down responses

Dave — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:30:33 GMT

Shona,

*there is no <caption> at all in your latest script*. And <surveypage> does *not* have /size or /position attributes -- it would not make any sense for it to do. The *stuff you put on it* has /position and /size attributes:

<surveypage mypage>
/ questions = [1=mycaption; 2=mydropdown]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<caption mycaption>
/ caption = "I am a <caption> element."
/ position = (40%, 10%)
</caption>

<dropdown mydropdown>
/ caption = "I am a <dropdown> element."
/ options = ("A", "B", "C")
/ position = (40%, 25%)
</dropdown>

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:26:11 GMT

Hi Dave. I think you are looking at an old script of mine. The stuff that you pasted in your reply does not occur in my latest script, which I've pasted again below. I'd be so grateful if you'd let me know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks so much!

How is this centered? And nowhere are you actually displaying that <caption> on your <surveypage>s:

...

/ questions=[1=question]

...

</surveypage

etc.

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:08:17 GMT

Thanks very much. That was quite helpful. However, my caption is still not centered. I've included a position attribute in my surveypage element under the caption attribute. It doesn't seem to be controlling the position of the caption. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again!

RE: drop down responses

Dave — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 03:16:43 GMT

A <caption> element must be displayed via a <surveypage>'s /questions attribute -- just like any other type of survey-question. I recommend working through the "Demographics Survey" tutorial in the documentation to acquire the basics of survey-handling in Inquisit.

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:07:59 GMT

Thank you for your help! I really need the caption to be centered. I created a separate caption element, as you suggested. However, it's not showing up. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much again!!

RE: drop down responses

Dave — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:09:13 GMT

See the documentation for the <surveypage> element's /showpagenumbers and /showquestionnumbers attributes. You'll want to set both to false.

Captions (and any survey elements in general) are left-aligned. You cannot center them. If need be, define a separate <caption> element and use its /position attribute to place it according to your preferences.

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:02:49 GMT

Hi Dave,

Thanks so much for your help. It works now but I have a few more questions. A "1" is being presented on the screen at the end of each trial. I did not program this and I'm sure why it's showing up. There's also a "1)" in front of the caption of my dropdown box, which I did not program. Why are these "1s" showing up and is there anything that I can do to get rid of them? Also, how can I get my caption to be centered and to appear on just one line that stretches farther across the screen? I'm so grateful for you help!

Shona,

a <surveypage> is *not a stimulus either*. You cannot display it via a <trial>'s /stimulustimes or -frames. A <surveypage> is a kind of <trial> and you need to treat it accordingly. Run it via a <block>'s /trials attribute or use a /branch as in

<trial 32ms>
...

/ branch = [surveypage.question]

</trial>

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:31:44 GMT

Thanks for your response. I now have a dropdown element as well as a survey element. However, when I try to run the experiment, the dropdown/survey response scale, which is entitled "question", cannot be found in the trials element. My script is pasted below. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much!

RE: drop down responses

A <surveypage> doesn't have an /optionsvalues attribute. The <dropdown> has, and that's where it needs to go.

RE: drop down responses

Shona — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 11:23:36 GMT

Thank you for your response. I tried to set up a dropdown options question with the surveypage element. See below. However, I am not permitted to use the "/optionvalues" attribute with a surveypage so I'm not sure how/where to insert the options for the dropdown response choices. I'd be so grateful for your help. Thanks again!

/ optionvalues = ("2 of hearts", "2 of diamonds", "2 of clubs", "3 of spades", "3 of hearts", "3 of diamonds", "3 of clubs", "3 of spades", "4 of hearts", "4 of diamonds", "4 of clubs", "4 of spades", "5 of hearts", "5 of diamonds", "5 of clubs", "5 of spades")

RE: drop down responses

Dave — Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:55:40 GMT

Shona,

a <dropdown> element is *not a stimulus*. It *cannot* be displayed via a <trial>'s /stimulustimes or -frames. What you need to do is put that dropdown on a <surveypage> and then run that page after the <trial> presenting the other stimuli.
