Help - the audio stimulus goes away after the first trial

maya_mcg — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:09:52 GMT

Hello!

I would like both my visual and audio stimulus to continue after the first trial, into the second and third trial. The visual stimulus (waldo) does stay through the trials. My audio stimulus, although it also has the setting 'erase = false' stops playing after the first trial.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Below is my code for these trials:

<item waldo>
/ 1 = "wwr_1.png"
/ 2 = "WWr_2.png"
/ 3 = "WWr_3.png"
/ 4 = "WWr_4.png"
/ 5 = "WWr_5.png"
</item>

<picture waldo>
/ items = waldo
/ select = noreplace
/ position = (50%, 50%)
/ erase = false
/ size = (70%, 70%)
/ resetinterval = 0
</picture>

<item scream>
/1 = "one.wav"
/2 = "twoEnd.wav"
/3 = "three.wav"
/4 = "four.wav"
/5 = "five.wav"
/6 = "six.wav"
/7 = "seven.wav"
/8 = "eight.wav"
/9 = "nine.wav"
/10 = "ten.wav"
</item>

<sound scream>
/ items = scream
/ select = replace
/ erase = false
/ volume = 0
</sound>

<block example>
/ onblockbegin = [
    values.attempts_left = 3;
    values.circle_x = -10%;
    values.circle_y = -10%;
]
/ timeout = 20000
/ trials = [
    1=first;
]
</block>

<values>
/ attempts_left = 0
/ circle_x = 0%
/ circle_y = 0%
</values>

<trial first>
/ stimulusframes = [1=waldo, scream, circle, attempts]
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (waldo)
/ branch = [
    if (trial.first.response !=0 && trial.first.error) {
        values.attempts_left -= 1;
        values.circle_x = 1px*trial.first.responsex;
        values.circle_y = 1px*trial.first.responsey;
        return trial.second;
    }
]
</trial>

<trial second>
/ stimulusframes = [1=circle, attempts]
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (waldo)
/ branch = [
    if (trial.second.response != 0 && trial.second.error) {
        values.attempts_left -= 1;
        values.circle_x = 1px*trial.second.responsex;
        values.circle_y = 1px*trial.second.responsey;
        return trial.third;
    }
]
</trial>

<trial third>
/ stimulusframes = [1=circle, attempts]
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (waldo)
/ branch = [
    if (trial.third.response != 0 && trial.third.error) {
        values.attempts_left -= 1;
        values.circle_x = 1px*trial.third.responsex;
        values.circle_y = 1px*trial.third.responsey;
        return trial.end;
    }
]
</trial>

<trial end>
/ stimulusframes = [1=circle, attempts]
/ trialduration = 500
</trial>

<picture circle>
/ items = ("/Users/mayamcgregor/Desktop/circle.png")
/ erase = false
/ hposition = values.circle_x

Your only option is to display the sound via the <block>'s /bgstim, not via a trial.
