dear,
I have troubles with a response task. In my script, I have a list of adjectives 56 and respondents may only see each word once and in random order. When I run the script everything works perfectly but when I put it online and my colleagues check via the link than they get to see some words twice.
I have no idea what to do. Below you can find part of the script (the part of the adjec). thanks for the help!

<text adj>
/items = adjlist
/select = noreplace
/position = (50,50)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 5%)
/ txcolor = (64, 64, 128)
</text>

<item adjlist>
/1 = "Disorganized"
/2 = "Impatient"
/3 = "Careless"

You have a <block> that runs a single <trial>.

<block me>
/trials = [1=me]
</block>

That trial displays the <text> stimulus. You run that <block> 56 times.

<expt >
/ preinstructions = (intro)
/blocks = [1=noreplace(testme, testwe); 2=instru; 3-58=noreplace(me); 59=certain; 60=sociodemo; 61=ID; 62=end]
</expt>

Since -- by default -- selection pools are *reset* between blocks, the trial samples from the *full set* of 56 items every time it runs.

Use the <text> element's /resetinterval attribute to keep its selection pool intact across blocks:

<text adj>
/items = adjlist
/select = noreplace
/resetinterval = 0
/position = (50,50)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 5%)
/ txcolor = (64, 64, 128)
