Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 46	Hello, So I have been working on using values, in particular the trial count function, to branch after a certain number of videos played. I have gotten the trial count to properly count the videos, but it still is not branching on the 6th video like I would like it to. Here is an example of how I have it counting: <trial beta5> /stimulustimes = [1=beta5_video] /validresponse = (57) /branch = [surveypage.B5] /timeout = 20000 / ontrialend=[values.trialcount += 1] </trial> Here is my values function: <values> /trialcount = 0 </values> And here is my branch logic: <block ASIDE> /trials = [1= list.beta; 2-12=list.alpha_beta] /branch = [if(values.trialcount == 6) block.MidASIDESUDS] </block> Not sure what I am fdoing wrong. As I mentioned before The counting works properly it just is not branching at the proper time. Thank you, jrp

Thank you, jrp A /branch at the <block>-level will execute when the <block> ends, it will not interrupt the <block> when that block still has trials to run (as it does in your case). It seems to me that your /branch logic should actually reside at the <trial>-level, not the <block>-level. In this regard, please note that branches need to remain at the same level, i.e. - A <trial> can /branch to another <trial>. A <trial> cannot /branch to a <block>. - A <block> can /branch to another <block>. A <block> cannot /branch to a <trial>. - A /branch is executed at the end of the object it resides in. I.e. a <trial>-level /branch is executed at the end of the <trial> it resides in. A <block>-level /branch is executed at the end of the <block> it resides in. Hope this clarifies.

Hello Dave, Thanks for the reply. I knew the block to block bit but I did not know it only went after the trials which presents me with a problem. The survey I have is in block form because it is 7 random trials with their own survey pages. However the videos are needed to be played randomly and not replaced with this one block in the middle. Is there a way to run a block as a trial or in the middle of another block? Thank you, jrp

In other words, why don't you do <block ASIDE> /trials = [1= list.beta; 2-6, 14-19=list.alpha_beta; 7-13 = noreplace(...your 7 trials / surveypages from block MidASIDESUDS go here ...)] </block> ?

Hello, I did not know why I didnt think of that! Thank you so much it worked perfectly! -jrp
