However, how do I call up individual items from the list? For example, I only want to call out the first item. What should I put in the function "/ stimulustimes = [0 = ]"? Thank you so much.

How stimuli are selected from a given pool is solely to be controlled via the respective stimulus element, here the <text> element. <values> / myvalue = 0 </values> <item pleasant> / 1 = " PTTVPS " / 2 = " UUOIOOP " </item> <text word> / items = pleasant / select = values.myvalue </text> <trial type1> / ontrialbeging = [values.myvalue=1] / stimulustimes = [0 = word] / timeout = 4000 </trial> However, I fail to see the merits of this approach. If you want a <text> element to just have a single item, why would you want to specify more (here two)?
