Hi,
I set up a Simon task experiment and everything is perfectly fine in terms of number of conditions,etc...when I run the task on my computer.
In more details, I am supposed to have: -40 incongruent trials: 20 of condition 1 and 20 of condition 4 -40 congruent trials: 20 of condition 2 and 20 of condition 3 -40 neutral trials: 20 of condition 5 and 20 of condition 6
But once I upload the script on the website and run it from the website, the number of conditions go off. For example, I get 40 incongruent trials but 18 of condition 1 and 22 of condition 4... I really don't know the reason for that, so here is the script of the task I set up:

<page intro01> THE "UP/DOWN ARROWS" TASK ^^In this task, you will see an arrow pointing UP or DOWN. ^This arrow could appear on the left or the right side of the screen. ^^Your task is to decide whether the arrow is pointing UP or DOWN. ^^Press "z" with one hand if the arrow is pointing UP. ^Press "m" with the other hand if the arrow is pointing DOWN. ^^Please respond as fast and accurately as possible! ^^Press the spacebar to move on to the practice. </page>
<page test> ^This concludes the practice phase. ^^Please keep in mind: ^^^^Press "z" if the arrow is pointing UP, regardless of its position on the screen. ^Press "m" if the arrow is pointing DOWN, regardless of its position on the screen ^^^^Please try to respond as fast and accurately as possible! ^^^^Press the spacebar to start the test phase. </page>
<page end> ^This concludes the "Up/Down Arrows" Task. ^^Thanks for participating! </page>
Thank you very much!
