Group: Forum Members Posts: 13, Visits: 58	Hello, I'm working through modifying the DDT Food and Money Task , and I was wondering if it possible to do the following: 1) insert an option between the food imageselection and the first block. This option would allow the user to to select a personalized fixed amount of the food via adrop-down menu or a list of options. Whatever theyclick will then need to be reflected in their fixed delayed amount (e.g., ifthey choose 2 brownies, then 2 brownies will need to show up on the right sideof the task for all following pages). 2) Based off of the user's chosen amount, how would I code it so that the delayed increments following the choice is representative of that (ie: if the person chooses 2 brownies, the delay is: 2.0 brownies, 1.5 brownies, 1 brownie, .5 brownie....) Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you! While virtually anything is possible to program, I'm struggling to see how this makes sense. The point where you really run into theoretical / methodological problems is #2. Obviously, the individual amount chosen affects the amount of possible delays (there can be no, say, -0.5 brownies). I.e., the task would be much shorter for some participants, it becomes impossible to compare results, the indifference point estimates become basically useless.
