Help - Adjust "values" when participant gets incorrect answer

maya_mcg — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 23:26:17 GMT

Hello,

In my experiment, participants will hear a sound clip with a scream and in the middle of the scream, there will be a control question where a number is played. After the scream trial, participants will be asked a control question and they have to enter the number they heard. At the same time, I will be keeping a tally of the number of coins participants have left. When participants get the number incorrect, I would like them to get notified that they will lose two coins, and I would like their "coins_left" value to subtract two. Is this possible?

Below is my relevant code

<sound scream1>
/ items = ("one_new.mp3")
/ select = replace
/ erase = false
/ volume = 0
</sound>

<sound scream2>
/ items = ("two_new.mp3")
/ select = replace
/ erase = false
/ volume = 0
</sound>

<sound scream3>
/ items = ("three_new.mp3")
/ select = replace
/ erase = false
/ volume = 0
</sound>

<textbox controlQ1>
/ caption = (controlQ)
/ correctresponse = ("1")
</textbox>

<textbox controlQ1>
/ caption = (controlQ)
/ correctresponse = ("2")
</textbox>

<textbox controlQ3>
/ caption = (controlQ)
/ correctresponse = ("3")
</textbox>

<block waldo1>
/ onblockbegin = [
    values.attempts_left = 3;
    values.circle_x = -10%;
    values.circle_y = -10%;
]
/ timeout = 7000
/ trials = [
    1=clip_first;
]
/ bgstim = (scream1)
</block>

/ trials = [
    1=clip_first;

It's possible in exactly the same way you already subtract coins in the betting trials. The code you provided, however, is not in the least bit functional. <textbox> elements are neither trials not blocks. They belong on surveypages (surveypages are trials), and those pages belong in a block.

Thanks Dave, yes I do have surveypages sorry! An example surveypage is the following:

<surveypage controlQ1>
/ questions = [
    1=controlQ1]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers=false
</surveypage>

Could you give an example of how the line of code would look to subtract 2 coins for an incorrect response? I'm just not sure what specifically to change from the line of code for the betting coins values.

The coding line for the betting was
/ ontrialend = [
    values.coins_left-=radiobuttons.bet_radiobuttons.response;
]
[/quote]

<block cq1>
/ trials = [1=controlQ1]
</block>

<surveypage controlQ1>
/ ontrialend = [
    if (textbox.controlQ1.response != "1"){
        values.coins_left -= 2;
    }
]
/ questions = [
1=controlQ1]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers=false
/ branch = [
    if (textbox.controlQ1.response != "1") {
        trial.loss;
    }
]
</surveypage>

<textbox controlQ1>
/ caption = "Control Q1"
/ mask = positiveinteger
</textbox>

<values>
/ coins_left = 130
</values>

<trial loss>
/ stimulusframes = [1=lossmsg]
/ trialduration = 2000
</trial>

<text lossmsg>
/ items = ("Your answer was wrong and you lost 2 coins.
You now have <%values.coins_left%> coins left.")
/ size = (60%, 20%)
