Overlapping surveypage questions when branching to open-ended pages

InquisitivePhoenix — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 15:41:18 GMT

Hi all,

I'm having an issue where questions from a one surveypage are not disappearing when the user clicks through to the next one. I'm also only seeing this problem on the mac version of the inquisit player, not on windows.

Here's what the screen should look like (and does on windows):

But on mac, you can see the text from the previous question stays on the screen.

Below is the code for the experiment. It seems like the problem comes when the surveypage (MEQ7) branches to an openended (MEQ8). It also happens between MEQ10 and MEQ11, also surveypage to openended. What can I do to prevent this overlap?

<expt MPref_reasons>
/subjects = (1 of 1)
/ groupassignment = random
/ blocks = [1 = consent;2=MEQ]
</expt>

<block consent>
/ trials = [1 = consentpage]
</block>

<block MEQ>
/ trials = [1=MEQp1; 2=MEQp2]
/ skip=[radiobuttons.consentq.response ==2]
</block>

Hmm, that's weird. Can you tell me if changing the two <openended> elements to

<openended MEQq8>
/ pretrialpause = 50
/ stimulusframes=[1=clearscreen;2=MEQq8text]
/ beginresponseframe = 2
/ charlimit = 2000
/ position = (50, 90)
/ linelength = 100
/ numlines = 10
/required = false
/ buttonlabel = "Continue"
/required = true
/ skip=[radiobuttons.MEQq6.response == 2]
/ branch=[surveypage.meqp9]
</openended>

and

<openended MEQq11>
/ pretrialpause = 50
/ stimulusframes=[1=clearscreen;2=MEQq11text]
/ beginresponseframe = 2
/ charlimit = 2000
/ position = (50, 90)
/ linelength = 100
/ numlines = 10
/required = false
/ buttonlabel = "Continue"
/required = true
/ skip=[radiobuttons.MEQq9.response == 2]
/ branch=[surveypage.meqp12]
</openended>

makes any difference? That should theoretically ensure that absolutely everything from previous pages / trials is properly removed from the screen.

The attached script has those changes in place.

[/quote]

Thanks Dave! This does work as far as hosting, the only thing is I'm building the script with inquisit 4, which doesn't like the 'clearscreen' element by itself. How would you write this for inquisit 4?

[/quote]

If you define a shape like so

<shape clearscreen>
/ shape = rectangle
/ size = (100%, 100%)
/ color = white
/ erase = false
</shape>

the code should run under Inquisit 4.
