Importing stimuli from excel

Hello,

In myExperiment the participants have to complete a sentence by completing afragment of a word.

e.g. “WhenI go to school, the sun is sh_ning” or “When I’m watching TV, I’m having f_n”

At first,they see the sentence on the screen (“When I go to school, the sun is”) andafter they press the spacebar, the fragment appears. So I have to program thesentence and the fragment separately.

Now I wouldlike to know, whether it is possible to import my stimuli from excel, so that Ican tell Inquisit the sentence (“When I go to school, the sun is”) is in cell A1(in excel) and the fragment (sh_ning) is in cell B1.

The secondsentence (“When I’m watching TV, I’m having”) is in cell A2; the secondfragment (f_n) is in cell B2. The third sentence is in cell A3; the thirdfragment in cell B3 and so on, so that Inquisit can read and import my stimuliline by line.

Thanks!

No, Inquisit cannot import or read stimuli from Excel spreadsheets. The stimuli need to be either in the Inquisit script or an external text file which you can have Inquisit access via <include>. In either case, the file's contents must conform to Inquisit's syntax.

As for linking your sentence / fragment pairs, see the "How to present stimulus pairs" topic in the Inquisit documentation.
