Several options: (a) Set the <text> element's /erase attribute to 'false' and remove it from the <likert>'s /stimulusframes. (b) Use <list>s, <values> and a bit of conditional logic to make sure that selection only occurs in the <trial>, but not the <likert>.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 49	Hi Dave, I have another question for you, about the same script/experiment. I'd like to have the stimuli appear on the screen (without the rating scale), then have the likert scale appear below the stimulus after the participant presses a button. Is there a way to delay the appearance of the likert scale this way? I know you can do it using responseframe/time, but I want it to be triggered by the participant's response. I tried presenting the stimuli as a trial first, and then having it branch to a likert, but the problem is that the same sentence doesn't show up for both the trial and the likert (since it selects a new list index...) Here's an example of my code: <likert originalR> /stimulusframes = [1 = original, likertInst] /numpoints = 7 /anchors = [1="extremely unnatural"; 2="somewhat unnatural"; 3="a little unnatural"; 4="possible"; 5="a little natural" 6="somewhat natural"; 7="extremely natural"] /anchorwidth = 20% /position = (50%,70%) </likert> <trial original> /stimulusframes = [1 = original, instructions] /validresponse = (" ") /branch = [likert.originalR] </trial> As always, thanks so much for your help!

Group: Administrators Posts: 13K, Visits: 108K	> is it possible to have the mouse return to the same position on the screen in between each trial? Not automatically. You'd have to do something along the lines of https://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic13214.aspx#bm13217

Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 49	I have multiple conditions for stimulus sentences that I would like participants to make acceptability judgments on. However, if a participant receives sentence 1 in condition 1, I would like to make sure they do not receive sentence 1 from any other condition. The sentences will be presented in a random order each time. What's the best way to make Inquisit do this? Additionally, I would like to make sure the proportion of sentences from each condition is balanced every time. I've tried something like the following dummy script (using ontrialend & removeitem to eliminate same-index sentences from the stimulus pool) and it technically runs, but doesn't seem to do anything. Would it be better to use a list to store the stimulus sentences? <item conditionOne> /1 = sentence1 /2 = sentence2 /3 = sentence3 </item> <item conditionTwo> /1 = 1sentence /2 = 2sentence /3 = 3sentence </item> <item conditionThree> /1 = sen1tence /2 = sen2tence /3 = sen3tence </item> <text conOne> /items = conditionOne /select = noreplace </text> <text conTwo> /items = conditionTwo /select = noreplace </text> <text conThree> /items = conditionThree /select = noreplace </text> <likert conOne> /stimulusframes = [1=conOne] /numpoints = 5 /anchors = [1="extremely unnatural"; 2="somewhat unnatural"; 3="possible"; 4="somewhat natural"; 5="extremely natural"] /ontrialend = [text.conTwo.removeitem(text.conOne.currentindex) && text.conThree.removeitem(text.conOne.currentindex)] </likert> (etc, for likert conTwo/conThree) <block practice> /trials = [1-3 = noreplace(conOne, conTwo, conThree)] </block> <expt> /blocks = [1 = practice] </expt>
