They will not be retested for the entire list. For instance, if one person answers the first three questions right but the last one wrong, they will not have to start from question one after viewing the list again. There are four <textbox> questions on <surveypages>. Please see below.

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Dave,
What would you recommend if I do not want participants to start over if they answered only one question incorrectly? Specifically, they don't have to answer all questions correctly in one go, rather I want to direct them to a previous surveypage (where the instructions are embedded) if they answered one question incorrectly and then give them another chance to answer the same question until they are correct. I guess, what I'm really asking is how to branch to the instruction surveypage AND the question surveypage so they get to see the instructions and have another chance to answer the question.

I hope my questions make sense. Attached below is part of my script. With the current setup, it only branches to the instruction page, but I want it to also branch to the question.

Thank you for your time!

</surveypage>

I can't answer that question based on an isolated, incomplete code snippet.

Sorry. My script might be a complete mess, but here is what I really want to do: Event 1: participants will see some general instructions; Event 2: participants will see a shopping list; Event 3: they will be tested on the list. Then, if they recall all items from the list correctly, they move on to the next phase. If not, they will go back to Event 2 and Event 3 to restudy and be tested again. My question is how can I accomplish this using /branch?

Ah, then you probably don't want to work with branching at the <openended>-level at all. Instead, I'd use a /stop attribute in the <block> to terminate it upon error, and repeat the <block> with a /branch at the <block> level in that case. In essence:

<expt>
/ blocks = [1=practice; 2=test]
</expt>

<block practice>
/ stop = [block.practice.error]
/ branch = [if (block.practice.error) block.practice]
/ preinstructions = (practice_instructions)
/ trials = [1-4 = noreplace(a,b,c,d)]
</block>

<block test>
/ preinstructions = (test_instructions)
</block>

<page practice_instructions>
^practice instructions here
</page>

<page test_instructions>
^you have completed practice & reached the test phase
</page>

<trial a>
/ stimulusframes = [1=debug]
/ validresponse = ("a", "b", "c", "d")
/ correctresponse = ("a")
</trial>

<trial b>
/ stimulusframes = [1=debug]
/ validresponse = ("a", "b", "c", "d")
/ correctresponse = ("b")
</trial>

<trial c>
/ stimulusframes = [1=debug]
/ validresponse = ("a", "b", "c", "d")
/ correctresponse = ("c")
</trial>

<trial d>
/ stimulusframes = [1=debug]
/ validresponse = ("a", "b", "c", "d")
/ correctresponse = ("d")
</trial>

<text debug>
/ items = ("The correct response is <%script.currenttrial%>")
</text>

Hope this helps.
