I'm working on what would seem a relatively simple task wherein particpants are to be presented with several brief surveys. Among those, the first set of questions (n=4) are about a photograph. I need the questions to appear one at a time, in random order, and the same image to appear on each of those four pages. The latter is the only problem for which I need assistance (the image). I've tried the bgstim route, but that has not yet worked. I'm using Inquisit 4 and below is the script. I appreciate the assistance.
