Unable to Locate Missing ')' Error

I am assuming this means that I am missing a parenthesis somewhere but after exhaustively searching my script for hours, I am unable to find any instance of a missing parenthesis. Is there anything else this error could mean? By running different parts of my script separately I believe I can narrow it down to the section of script below, which runs the Go/No-Go Task in my study. I have run the blocks for this task separately and they seem to work so I think it must be a problem with the experiment script below. I'm sure I am making a simple mistake but any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Christina <expt> / subjects = (1 of 4) / preinstructions = (begin1s, begin2) / blocks = [1-2=random(goodRT1000; studentRT1000); 3-4=random(studentgoodRT1000, studentbadRT1000)] / postinstructions = (end) </expt> <expt> / subjects = (2 of 4) / preinstructions = (begin1h, begin2) / blocks = [1-2=random(goodRT1000; homelessRT1000); 3-4=random(homelessgoodRT1000, homelessbadRT1000)] / postinstructions = (end) </expt> <expt> / subjects = (3 of 4) / preinstructions = (begin1b, begin2) / blocks = [1-2=random(goodRT1000; businessmanRT1000); 3-4=random(businessmangoodRT1000, businessmanbadRT1000)] / postinstructions = (end) </expt> <expt> / subjects = (4 of 4) / preinstructions = (begin1e, begin2) / blocks = [1-2=random(goodRT1000; elderlyRT1000); 3-4=random(elderlygoodRT1000, elderlybadRT1000)] / postinstructions = (end) </expt>
