Hi,
I'm quite new in Inquisit, that's why I have a problem with modifying Dot Estimation Task (https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/DotEstimationTask/).
I need to implement modification which allows subjects to repeat pictures with dots and counts the number of repeats.
The new element I wish to implement is simple question "Are you ready to estimate the number of dots?" and after that, if subject answered "Yes" - he/she is asked to write estimated number, if he/she answered "No", the same display appears again. Additionally I need only to know how many times subject repeated picture.
Everything I need but this is in existing script.
Could you help me or suggest some tutorial?
You need to introduce an additional <trial> for that. If the response on that trial is 'yes', proceed to the estimation trial. If 'no', /branch back to the picture presentation.
Thank you Dave, actually I knew that I need additional trial but can't find any information about what exactly should it contains.
Now this element is:
<text repeat>/ items = ("Repeat?")/ size = (75%, 75%)/ hjustify = center</text><trial repeat>/ stimulusframes = [1=repeat]/ validresponse = ("Y", "N")/ recorddata = false/ trialduration = </trial>
But I can't run exp. - the communicate states: 'Y' is not a valid setting. 'N' is not a valid setting. 'No response' can not be specified unless the trial has a timeout.
Where is my mistake?
You need to specify the proper /inputdevice.
That works! It was "mouse", after changing to "keyboard" both are working.
For now both responses ("Y" and" N") proceed to estimation window, what should I add to establish this conditions (if "N" go back to image")?
As already indicated in my initial reply, you need to use /branch.
