Hey Dave,

I've got an experiment I am trying to put together, and I'm not sure if our ideal set-up is possible. I thought I would try to run it by you and see if you had to know-how. It requires the random no-replace command, but I think our grouping is too complicated.

We're going to be showing participants 10 pictures, one male and one female in five different groups, from a bank of 20 pictures (2 males and 2 females). We need to associated a picture of a name (or just a text command name) with each of these pictures. We'll be pulling from a bank of 2 names per group. (I've included a diagram below). That's possible. Now comes the hard part. Can we display the pictures from the groups, matched with names, in random order? So a male picture from group 1 is displayed, then a female from group 5, then a female from group 3, and so on in random order until all 10 pictures have been shown?


    Group 1                      Group 2                     Group 3                   Group 4                  Group 5
    M M F F                       M M F F                     M M F F                  M M F F                M M F F
Name Name                  Name Name              Name Name           Name Name          Name Name

I know we'll be using the random no-replace command to have Inquisit select a single image from both the male category and the female category of group one, and assigning them a name, and so on with the other groups. I have no idea how to write the code so they can be presented in a random order across the groups. Do you know how this is possible?

I hope I've been clear, and I hope this isn't *too* silly of a question for you.

Best,

Tori
