Drag and drop trial where dropsource stays on screen

cehall — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 21:34:08 GMT

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to make a trial/series of trials of dragdrops, such that the previous choice stays on the screen which the participant makes the rest of their selections?

The task I am trying to create is a simple resource distribution task where the participants must divide 6 markers between two baskets. The six markers (dropsources) will appear in a central basket (as part of the background image) and must be each be dragged into either the green or orange basket (droptargets). I want the previous the choices to stay on the screen until all 6 markers are sorted. I need the data to record how many markers were placed into each basket.

Here's the code I have so far:

<picture background>
/ items = ("background.jpeg")
</picture>

<picture green_basket>
/ items = ("green_basket.jpeg")
/ droptarget = true
/ position = (80%, 70%)
/ size = (30%, 30%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture orange_basket>
/ items = ("orange_basket.jpeg")
/ droptarget = true
/ position = (20%, 70%)
/ size = (30%, 30%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker1>
/ items = ("marker1.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (45%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker2>
/ items = ("marker2.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (47%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker3>
/ items = ("marker3.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (49%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker4>
/ items = ("marker4.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (51%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker5>
/ items = ("marker5.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (53%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker6>
/ items = ("marker6.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (55%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<trial resource>
/ dropsources = (marker1, marker2, marker3, marker4, marker5, marker6)
/ droptargets = (orange_basket, green_basket)
/ stimulusframes = [1=background, marker1, marker2, marker3, marker4, marker5, marker6, orange_basket, green_basket]
/ showmousecursor = true
/ inputdevice = dragdrop
/ validresponse = (orange_basket, green_basket)
/ correctresponse = ("orange_basket")
</trial>

Many thanks!!

Hello again, I have a follow up question after piloting the measure. Would it be possible to make it that it would allow the participants to change their answers before submitting (i.e., switch a marker from one basket to the other, while still allowing them to sort all six markers)? Additionally, would it be possible to have a way to move on without distributing every marker? Like a next button? But that the number of markers in each basket would still be recorded?

Thanks so much for all the help!

Yes, all of that is perfectly possible.

That's entirely possible and you can find plenty of examples in the library (e.g. the Tower of London) or via search in the forums (search for "dragdrop"), e.g, the procedure discussed in https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic29302.aspx and https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic29339.aspx .

RE: Drag and drop trial where dropsource stays on screen

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to make a trial/series of trials of dragdrops, such that the previous choice stays on the screen which the participant makes the rest of their selections?

The task I am trying to create is a simple resource distribution task where the participants must divide 6 markers between two baskets. The six markers (dropsources) will appear in a central basket (as part of the background image) and must be each be dragged into either the green or orange basket (droptargets). I want the previous the choices to stay on the screen until all 6 markers are sorted. I need the data to record how many markers were placed into each basket.

Here's the code I have so far:

<picture background>
/ items = ("background.jpeg")
</picture>

<picture green_basket>
/ items = ("green_basket.jpeg")
/ droptarget = true
/ position = (80%, 70%)
/ size = (30%, 30%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture orange_basket>
/ items = ("orange_basket.jpeg")
/ droptarget = true
/ position = (20%, 70%)
/ size = (30%, 30%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker1>
/ items = ("marker1.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (45%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker2>
/ items = ("marker2.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (47%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker3>
/ items = ("marker3.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (49%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker4>
/ items = ("marker4.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (51%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker5>
/ items = ("marker5.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (53%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture marker6>
/ items = ("marker6.jpeg")
/ dropsource = true
/ position = (55%, 50%)
/ dropposition = (anywhere, anywhere)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<trial resource>
/ dropsources = (marker1, marker2, marker3, marker4, marker5, marker6)
/ droptargets = (orange_basket, green_basket)
/ stimulusframes = [1=background, marker1, marker2, marker3, marker4, marker5, marker6, orange_basket, green_basket]
/ showmousecursor = true
/ inputdevice = dragdrop
/ validresponse = (orange_basket, green_basket)
/ correctresponse = ("orange_basket")
</trial>

Many thanks!!

That's entirely possible and you can find plenty of examples in the library (e.g. the Tower of London) or via search in the forums (search for "dragdrop"), e.g, the procedure discussed in https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic29302.aspx and https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic29339.aspx .
