Reducing practice trials for listening span test (letter recall)

yatinmahajan — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 08:04:10 GMT

Hello,

I am running the Listening span test (letter recall version). Since it is a long test to run, I would like to reduce the practice sentences. For this I went to the editable section of the script and manually removed 10 sentences from the <item PracSentenceProblems> and also from <item PracSentenceProblems_audit> and finally from corresponding <list PracSentenceCorrect>. However, when I run the test, it stops after 5 practice sentences and exits from the program.

How can I reduce the practice trials.

Kindly help.

Best,
Yatin

Hello Admin,

Thank you for your kind reply. Please correct em if I am wrong, did you just remove 10 items from these sections ? <item PracSentenceProblems>, <item PracSentenceProblems_audit>, <list PracSentenceCorrect>. Or there were more changes elsewhere in the code?

If yes, when I tried the same (reduced to two sentences), it froze after presenting two practice trials. Am I doing it write? Following is my modification

<item PracSentenceProblems>
/ 01 = "Sam stopped the fire with a bucket full of promises."
/ 02 = "In the summer, you can often watch movies outdoors."
</item>

<item PracSentenceProblems_audit>
/ 01 = "practice1.wav"
/ 02 = "practice2.wav"
</item>

<list PracSentenceCorrect>
/ items = (
"FALSE", "TRUE")
/ selectionmode = sound.PracProblem_audit.currentindex
</list>

No, you also need to remove the corresponding number of items from

<list PracSentencelist>
/ items = (1,2,3,4,5)
/ selectionmode = sequence
</list>
