sentence task

tecnika — Mon, 01 Aug 2016 01:38:35 GMT

Hello,

I would need to present in a randomise sequence some sentences and questions, in a way that the first, second, third, fourth sentence, segment and question is always linked with its relative part part (may be 1 or 2). I could not link the right part of the sentences, segments and questions (so what appears won't make sense because they are all messed up). I would also need to randomise them (sometimes the sentence starting with item 1, sometimes with item2).

Any suggestions?

I have tried to make the script simple. There are other parts included that are not relevant, I hope that they not create confusion.

Many thanks in advance for your attention.

Elena

All you need to do is the following:

Set the stimulus element for the 1st sentence to sample its items randomly:

<text first>
/items = first
/select = noreplace
...
</text>

Then have all the remaining stimulus elements select the corresponding item number by setting

<text second>
/items = second
/select = text.first.currentindex
...
</text>

<text third>
/items = third
/select = text.first.currentindex
...
</text>
...
<text segment>
/items = segment
/ select = text.first.currentindex
...
</text>

<text question>
/items = question
/select = text.first.currentindex
...
</text>

You will find this covered in the "How to present stimulus pairs" topic in the Inquisit documentation.
