IAT script, Worked on Lab v. 6 but have Web v. 5.

kk1132 — Wed, 06 May 2020 11:20:50 GMT

Hi,

I downloaded the most recent version (updated 10/4/2019 lab v.6) DIAT and customized based off of it (not just change the variables such as attributes but added new coding quite a bit) by using the the most recent Inquisit Lab 6.
Now trying to launch our survey using Qualtrics, I just learned that we have web version 5 instead of 6.

What would you suggest what I should do in this case? How much are they different?
I can see that the DIAT v. 5 provided was updated 2/12/2018 which is quite far from 10/4/2019, so I was not sure what we should do and wondering if you could give us some advice.

Thanks!
Best

Thanks Dave. Will do.

I was just testing our script using the Inquisit Web, and noticed that it repeats (when I am done at the end of the study, it comes back to the first page and repeat).

Do you have any ideas why this is happening? Thanks!

I cannot possibly tell you why without you providing a link to the actual experiment.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the prompt response!

Would that be only these lines that I need to delete if I want to keep using the script created for 6?
/propRT300 = list.RT300.mean
/excludeCriteriaMet = if (expressions.propRT300 > 0.1){
1;
} else {
0;
}
or, what else lines or screen out did you include in the version 6?

No, there's more. I'd rather recommend you take one of the IAT scripts *designed* for Inquisit 5 and re-do your modifications in that.

The IAT scripts for version 6 calculate some additional variables which can be used to screen out participants. Other than that, they're not substantially different from the Inquisit 5 versions. If you want to take advantage of those improvements, you may want to consider upgrading your Inquisit 5 Web license to Inquisit 6 Web. If that's not an option, Inquisit 5 versions of most IAT scripts are available, and I'd suggest you use those.
