Dear all,

I'm relatively new to Inquisit and facing my first big problem. My experiment is designed as follows:

There are six conditions in which subjects should rate specific words differently.

e.g
"Would you consider yourself as aggressive?"
Would you consider your friend as aspiring?"
"Would your friend consider you as neurotic?"
...

The 96 words that should be rated are organized in six sublists, each containing 16 words.

This is how it looks so far:

The element sublist refers to the specific list containing 16 words, the element cond... refers to the question in the specific condition.

<trial condSlfSlf>
 /stimulusframes = [1=condSlfSlf; 1=sublist1]
 /validresponse = ("a", "l")
 /pretrialpause = 500
 </trial>

<trial condSlfFri>
 /stimulusframes = [1=condSlfFri; 1=sublist2]
 /validresponse = ("a", "l")
 /pretrialpause = 500
 </trial>

<trial condFriSlf>
 /stimulusframes = [1=condFriSlf; 1=sublist3]
 /validresponse = ("a", "l")
 /pretrialpause = 500
 </trial>
...

Now every subject should rate all 96 words, 16 words (one sublist) in each condition.

A block could look like this:

<block 1>
/ trials = [1-96 = noreplace(condSlfSlf,condSlfFri,condFriSlf,...)]
</block>

So here is my problem: The assignment of the six sublists to the six conditions should differ from subject to subject. For example the first one should rate words of the first sublist in the first condition, the second one should rate should rate words of the second sublist in the first condition,... I have no clue how to assign sublists randomly to conditions before each run starts. I thought of scripting trials and blocks for each possible combination of sublists and conditions but 720 different combinations seem to be way too much to script. Is there a more suitable way to do this?

I hope my explanation is comprehensible and someone knows a simple solution for my problem. If you need further information, just ask and I will try to explain the experiment more precisely.

Thanks a lot!

Jakob.
