Running a block/trial AMP in a longer survey

Group: Forum Members Posts: 1, Visits: 8	Using some of the sample scripts, I created a survey for my lab that mainly uses surveypages to run. <surveypage QUES1> /subcaption = "Text" /subcaptionfontstyle = ("Arial", etc.) </surveypage> At the bottom of the completed survey, I have: <survey TITLE> /pages = [1 = QUES1; 2 = QUES2; etc.] </survey> For the new year, my professor wants me to add an AMP to the already established survey, which based upon the downloadable AMP, is based around trials and blocks: <trial primeA> /validresponse = ("E", "I") /correctresponse = ("I") /stimulustimes = [0=primeA; 75=blank; 200=target; 300=blank] /trialdata = [primeA, target] </trial> (etc.) <block test1> /bgstim = (attributeAlabel, attributeBlabel) /trials = [1 = instructions; 2-16 = noreplace(primeA, primeB, primeC, primeNeutral)] </block> I need the survey to run in a certain order, with the new AMP code fitting between two surveypages, e.g.: <survey TITLE> /pages = [1 = QUES1; 2 = AMP; 3 = QUES2; etc.] </survey> However, I cannot figure out how to get the trial/block format to run in the surveypages order. Is there any way to fix this without completely revamping the old survey? Thank you

If you want everything in a single script, you need to edit the AMP's <expt> element's /blocks attribute to run the <survey> elements at the desired spots. <surveypage> elements, conversely, are a special <trial> elements. They can thus be run via a <block> elment's /trials attribute (as an alternative to running them via a <survey>'s /pages attribute). Other options exist. For a comprehensive overview see the "How to Combine Multiple Scripts" and "Running Sequences of Inquisit Scripts and Other Applications" topics in the Inquisit documentation.
