OLD/NEW FACE RECONITION TASK

Fabiana — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 05:52:53 GMT

I am currently working on an OLD/NEW Face Recognition task; the experiment is divided into two phases. In the first phase, participants see face stimuli that they have to memorize for the second phase of the experiment (20 trials). In the latter new and old face stimuli are shown, (48 trials), my main problem is that same new face stimuli are repeated within the same trial when they should appear only once per trial.
I put different trials according to the experimental phase in which are shown and if they are new or already presented.

This is my script:

<picture facestim>
/items = facestim
/select = values.facestim
/size = (80%, 80%)
/position = (50%, 50%)
</picture>

<trial facestimAF>
/stimulusframes = [1=facestim]
/validresponse = (30, 38)
/correctresponse = (30)
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.block==1) values.facestim=list.b1_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.block==1) values.facestim=list.b1_af_1.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.block==2) values.facestim=list.b2_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.block==2) values.facestim=list.b2_af_1.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.block==3) values.facestim=list.b3_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.block==3) values.facestim=list.b3_af_1.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.block==4) values.facestim=list.b4_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.block==4) values.facestim=list.b4_af_1.nextvalue]
</trial>

<trial facestimAF_p>
/stimulusframes = [1=facestim]
/validresponse = (16, 25)
/correctresponse = (16)
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.blockm==1) values.facestim=list.b1_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.blockm==1) values.facestim=list.b1_af_1.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.blockm==2) values.facestim=list.b2_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.blockm==2) values.facestim=list.b2_af_1.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.blockm==3) values.facestim=list.b3_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.blockm==3) values.facestim=list.b3_af_1.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.blockm==4) values.facestim=list.b4_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.blockm==4) values.facestim=list.b4_af_1.nextvalue]
</trial>

<trial facestimAF_n>
/stimulusframes = [1=facestim]
/validresponse = (16, 25)
/correctresponse = (25)
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.blockm==1) values.facestim=list.b1_af.nextvalue]
/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==0 && values.blockm==1) values.facestim=list.b1_af_1.nextvalue]

/ontrialbegin = [if(mod(script.subjectid,2)==1 && values.blockm==4) values.facestim=list.b4_af_1.nextvalue]
</trial>

<block facestim1>
/preinstructions = (instructpres)
/trials = [ 1-20= noreplace(facestimAF, facestimAM, facestimWF, facestimWM)]
/onblockend = [values.block= values.block + 1]
</block>

That code is too incomplete to say anything about it. It's missing the list elements, etc.

It's also not clear to me what you mean by "same new face stimuli are repeated within the same trial" -- what do you consider to be a "trial" in this context?

Please provide a clear descript as well as the full script. Please also provide all external files the script requires to actually run (i.e. the images, etc.). You can attach files to a post via +Insert -> Add File.
