As an example, I would have 2 stimuli in a sequence of 8 whose probabilities are as follows: p(all 8 are 1 type) = 0.34 p(7 are 1 type) = 0.30 p(6 are 1 type) = 0.17 p(5 are 1 type) = 0.13 p(4 of each) = 0.06 Is this possible to program with lists in inquisit? I thought it might be possible to do it using 2 kinds of lists, one for the probability distribution and the other for the stimulus ratio. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks :) Tags probability stimulus presentation

I can generate the stimuli themselves and the code for that but for the probabilities and lists I'm not sure. What specifically do you need to know to answer the question? Thanks for responding.
