Millisecond Forums

I tried adding another survey

<surveypage genderpage>
/ ontrialend = [values.emostate = dropdown.emoquestion.response]
/ questions = [1=genderquestion]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<dropdown genderquestion>
/ caption = "Gender:"
/ options = ("Male", "Female")
</dropdown>

But when I run it, nothing appears. Any clue why?

A <surveypage> is a kind of <trial>. That trial needs to be run by a block (a <block> or <survey> element). That block needs to be run by the <expt>.

<picture mypicture>
/ items = pictureitems
/ select = sequence
/ size = (100%, 100%)
</picture>

<item pictureitems>
/ 1 = "image01.jpg"
/ 2 = "image02.jpg"
/ 3 = "image03.jpg"
/ 4 = "image04.jpg"
/ 5 = "image05.jpg"
/ 6 = "image06.jpg"
/ 7 = "image07.jpg"
/ 8 = "image08.jpg"
/ 9 = "image09.jpg"
/ 10 = "image10.jpg"
/ 11 = "image11.jpg"
/ 12 = "image12.jpg"
/ 13 = "image13.jpg"
/ 14 = "image14.jpg"
/ 15 = "image15.jpg"
/ 16 = "image16.jpg"
/ 17 = "image17.jpg"
/ 18 = "image18.jpg"
/ 19 = "image19.jpg"
/ 20 = "image20.jpg"
</item>

// press y or n
<trial showpicture>
/ ontrialend = [
    values.pictrialnumber += 1;
    values.picitem = picture.mypicture.currentitem;
    values.picdescription = "";
    values.picdescriptionlatency = "";
    values.showpiclatency = trial.showpicture.latency;
]
/ ontrialend = [if(trial.showpicture.correct) values.showpicresponse = "y" else values.showpicresponse = "n"]
/ stimulusframes = [1=mypicture]
/ validresponse = ("y", "n")
/ correctresponse = ("y")
/ recorddata = false
</trial>

// skip openended if answer in showpicture trial was wrong (= "n"; no, did not see anything)
<openended typeanswer>
/ skip = [trial.showpicture.error]
/ ontrialend = [
    values.picdescription = openended.typeanswer.response;
    values.picdescriptionlatency = openended.typeanswer.latency;
]
/ stimulusframes = [1=typeprompt]
/ size = (70%, 40%)
/ position = (50%, 70%)
/ multiline = true
/ charlimit = 10000
/ recorddata = false
</openended>

// record data for the two above elements in a single line
<trial picdata>
/ recorddata = true
/ trialduration = 0
/ validresponse = (0)
</trial>

<text typeprompt>
/ items = ("Please describe what you saw:")
/ position = (50%, 20%)
</text>

<block picblock>
/ trials = [1-20 = sequence(showpicture, typeanswer, picdata)]
</block>

<block emoblock>
/ trials = [1=emopage; 2=genderpage]
</block>

<surveypage emopage>
/ ontrialend = [values.emostate = dropdown.emoquestion.response]
/ questions = [1=emoquestion]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<dropdown emoquestion>
/ caption = "Your current emotional state:"
/ options = ("bad", "neutral", "good")
</dropdown>

<surveypage genderpage>
/ ontrialend = [values.gender = dropdown.genderquestion.response]
/ questions = [1=genderquestion]
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>

<dropdown genderquestion>
/ caption = "Gender:"
/ options = ("Male", "Female")
</dropdown>

<expt>
/ preinstructions = (intro)
/ blocks = [1=emoblock; 2=picblock]
</expt>

<page intro>
^intro goes here.
</page>

<values>
/ pictrialnumber = 0
/ picitem = ""
/ showpicresponse = ""
/ showpiclatency = ""
/ picdescription = ""
/ picdescriptionlatency = ""
/ emostate = ""
/ gender = ""
</values>

<data>
/ columns = [date, time, subject, group, blocknum, blockcode, trialnum, trialcode, values.emostate, values.gender, values.pictrialnumber, values.showpiclatency, values.showpicresponse,
    values.picitem, values.picdescription, values.picdescriptionlatency]
</data>

Makes sense. Thank you.
