Hi, I was hoping to get some help with an experiment I am designing.

Before participants proceed to another part of the experiment they need to learn the names of 4 faces. There are 4 different faces but only 2 names, so two faces share the same name. Participants get 40 trials to learn the face names after which if they scored 90% correct they proceed to the next phase. 

Please can I get some help with the code to record their responses, calculate their correct scores, display that score to the participant with either the message that they will proceed to the next phase or that they will have to redo the learning phase. Here is the code I have tested so far.

Thanks heaps for your kind assistance.

You'll want to look at the documentation for the /correcttarget attribute. You'll also want to look at block- and/or trial-level properties such as correctcount and percentcorrect, all of which can be found detailed in the language reference.

If you want more control, it is easy to do those basic calculations yourself using <values>, <expressions> and a bit of logic in /ontrialbegin and /ontrialend attributes.

You can report feedback either via standard <text> / <trial> elements or -- if you prefer -- <page> elements. Very basic feedback features are also available via the /blockfeedback attribute.

Hi Dave

Should the following block repeat itself unless the participant gets 90% or better correct? And can blockfeedback be used here to display the correct % before moving on?

Regards
David




<block Election>

/ trials = [1-12 = noreplace(learning1,learning2,learning3,learning4)]

/ errormessage = true(error,200)

/responsemode=correct

/ recorddata = true

/ blockfeedback = (correct)

/ correcttarget=(percentcorrect, 90, 0)

</block>

For some reason it just terminates after if gives me the correct % and doesn't rerun.  Have I missed anything?

That's not what I'm seeing. E.g.

<expt>
/ blocks = [1=myblock]
</expt>

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-10=mytrial]
/ blockfeedback = (correct)
/ correcttarget = (percentcorrect, 90, 0)
/ response = correct
</block>

<trial mytrial>
/ posttrialpause = 500
/ stimulusframes = [1=mytext]
/ validresponse = (57, 28)
/ correctresponse = (57)
</trial>

<text mytext>
/ items = ("A")
</text>

which is in essence the exact same thing, behaves as expected. Is your Inquisit installation up to date (i.e. at 3.0.6.0)?

Also note that you *must* specify an <expt> element. Otherwise you don't really have a fully functional script.

Hi, yes all up to date, and I got it working, forgot to include

<expt>

/ blocks = [1=Election]

</expt>


All good now. Many thanks
