Allow more than one response per trial

Diane — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 12:45:16 GMT

Hi,
I present a trial on which a picture ("Alien" randomly drawn from an /item element) is shown together with 48 text elements. Participants should click 6 different elements. When they click a text element it changes color. I am using /branch to restart the trial (until 6 elements have been clicked), but on every restart a different picture is shown. How can I set it so that the picture stays the same until 6 responses are given?

Below is the code for the trial.

Thanks,
Diane

Use <values> and a list to select item numbers for the "Aliens" picture element, only sample a new item number from the list when a new round starts.

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much, this works.
I have a follow-up question: At the end of the trial (i.e., after a response) I branch to the same trial again if there are fewer than 6 responses. After each response this causes a short flicker in the presentation. Is there a way to leave the items on screen so that there is no flicker?
Thanks,
Diane

Yes. Set the respective stimulus elements' /erase attributes to false.

Hi,
I present a trial on which a picture ("Alien" randomly drawn from an /item element) is shown together with 48 text elements. Participants should click 6 different elements. When they click a text element it changes color. I am using /branch to restart the trial (until 6 elements have been clicked), but on every restart a different picture is shown. How can I set it so that the picture stays the same until 6 responses are given?

Below is the code for the trial.

Thanks,
Diane

Use <values> and a list to select item numbers for the "Aliens" picture element, only sample a new item number from the list when a new round starts.

Hi Dave,
Thanks so much, this works.
I have a follow-up question: At the end of the trial (i.e., after a response) I branch to the same trial again if there are fewer than 6 responses. After each response this causes a short flicker in the presentation. Is there a way to leave the items on screen so that there is no flicker?
Thanks,
Diane

Hi,
I present a trial on which a picture ("Alien" randomly drawn from an /item element) is shown together with 48 text elements. Participants should click 6 different elements. When they click a text element it changes color. I am using /branch to restart the trial (until 6 elements have been clicked), but on every restart a different picture is shown. How can I set it so that the picture stays the same until 6 responses are given?

Below is the code for the trial.

Thanks,
Diane
