The script is running fine in Inquisit 4 and 5 on my mac. But today I tried it with a windows PC in the Inquisit 4 Version and the "targetreminder" (showing the picture again, which was randomly chosen at the beginning in front of every respective IAT. They get 5 pictures at the beginning and then each picture will be shown again once during the experiment) did not work. It did not show the pictures which were randomly chosen at the beginning. Instead it showed any pictures from the collection. Do you have any idea what I need to change that it will do the same in the inquisit 4 windows version? (I already changed the "select" from inquisit 5 to "selectionmode" in inquisit 4) Thank you! *************************************** ************Asia IAT************ ************************************* <picture targetdpicture_As> / items = ("As-2.bmp", "As-1.bmp", "As0.bmp", "As+1.bmp", "As+2.bmp") / select = noreplace / selectionrate = experiment /position = (50, 50) / size = (100%, 100%) </picture> <list targetdlist_As> / items = (-0.36, -0.16, 0.0, 0.16, 0.36) / selectionmode = picture.targetdpicture_As.nextvalue </list> <values> / targetd_As = 0 / targetdmagnitude_As = "" / targetdpreferred_As = "" / targetdnotpreferred_As = "" / goalachieved_As = false </values> <trial targetdtrial_As> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_As = list.targetdlist_As.nextvalue;] / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetdmagnitude_As = "geringe bis gar keine"; if( abs(values.targetd_As) > 0.15 ) values.targetdmagnitude_As = "leichte"; if( abs(values.targetd_As) > 0.35 ) values.targetdmagnitude_As = "moderate"; if( abs(values.targetd_As) >= 0.65 ) values.targetdmagnitude_As = "starke"; if (values.targetd_As >= 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_As = item.ingroupLabel_As.1; if (values.targetd_As < 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_As = item.outgroupLabel_As.1; if (values.targetd_As < 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_As = item.ingroupLabel_As.1; if (values.targetd_As >= 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_As = item.outgroupLabel_As.1;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_As] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block givetargetd_As> / trials = [1=targetdtrial_As] </block> <trial targetdreminder_As> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_As = list.targetdlist_As.nextvalue;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_As] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block targetdreminder_As> / trials = [1=targetdreminder_As] </block> ************************************* ************Black IAT************ ************************************* <picture targetdpicture_Bl> / items = ("Bl-2.bmp", "Bl-1.bmp", "Bl0.bmp", "Bl+1.bmp", "Bl+2.bmp") / select = noreplace / selectionrate = experiment /position = (50, 50) / size = (100%, 100%) </picture> <list targetdlist_Bl> / items = (-0.36, -0.16, 0.0, 0.16, 0.36) / selectionmode = picture.targetdpicture_Bl.nextvalue </list> <values> / targetd_Bl = 0 / targetdmagnitude_Bl = "" / targetdpreferred_Bl = "" / targetdnotpreferred_Bl = "" / goalachieved_Bl = false </values> <trial targetdtrial_Bl> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_Bl = list.targetdlist_Bl.nextvalue;] / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "geringe bis gar keine"; if( abs(values.targetd_Bl) > 0.15 ) values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "leichte"; if( abs(values.targetd_Bl) > 0.35 ) values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "moderate"; if( abs(values.targetd_Bl) >= 0.65 ) values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "starke"; if (values.targetd_Bl >= 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_Bl = item.ingroupLabel_Bl.1; if (values.targetd_Bl < 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_Bl = item.outgroupLabel_Bl.1; if (values.targetd_Bl < 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_Bl = item.ingroupLabel_Bl.1; if (values.targetd_Bl >= 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_Bl = item.outgroupLabel_Bl.1;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_Bl] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block givetargetd_Bl> / trials = [1=targetdtrial_Bl] </block> <trial targetdreminder_Bl> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_Bl = list.targetdlist_Bl.nextvalue;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_Bl] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block targetdreminder_Bl> / trials = [1=targetdreminder_Bl] </block> *not the whole experiment**** <expt> /blocks = [1=givetargetd_As; 2=givetargetd_Bl; 3=targetdreminder_As; 4=targetdreminder_Bl] </expt> There are no syntax differences between the Mac and Windows versions of Inquisit 4.

(I already changed the "select" from inquisit 5 to "selectionmode" in inquisit 4) Thank you! *************************************** ************Asia IAT************ ************************************* <picture targetdpicture_As> / items = ("As-2.bmp", "As-1.bmp", "As0.bmp", "As+1.bmp", "As+2.bmp") / select = noreplace / selectionrate = experiment /position = (50, 50) / size = (100%, 100%) </picture> <list targetdlist_As> / items = (-0.36, -0.16, 0.0, 0.16, 0.36) / selectionmode = picture.targetdpicture_As.nextvalue </list> <values> / targetd_As = 0 / targetdmagnitude_As = "" / targetdpreferred_As = "" / targetdnotpreferred_As = "" / goalachieved_As = false </values> <trial targetdtrial_As> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_As = list.targetdlist_As.nextvalue;] / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetdmagnitude_As = "geringe bis gar keine"; if( abs(values.targetd_As) > 0.15 ) values.targetdmagnitude_As = "leichte"; if( abs(values.targetd_As) > 0.35 ) values.targetdmagnitude_As = "moderate"; if( abs(values.targetd_As) >= 0.65 ) values.targetdmagnitude_As = "starke"; if (values.targetd_As >= 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_As = item.ingroupLabel_As.1; if (values.targetd_As < 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_As = item.outgroupLabel_As.1; if (values.targetd_As < 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_As = item.ingroupLabel_As.1; if (values.targetd_As >= 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_As = item.outgroupLabel_As.1;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_As] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block givetargetd_As> / trials = [1=targetdtrial_As] </block> <trial targetdreminder_As> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_As = list.targetdlist_As.nextvalue;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_As] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block targetdreminder_As> / trials = [1=targetdreminder_As] </block> ************************************* ************Black IAT************ ************************************* <picture targetdpicture_Bl> / items = ("Bl-2.bmp", "Bl-1.bmp", "Bl0.bmp", "Bl+1.bmp", "Bl+2.bmp") / select = noreplace / selectionrate = experiment /position = (50, 50) / size = (100%, 100%) </picture> <list targetdlist_Bl> / items = (-0.36, -0.16, 0.0, 0.16, 0.36) / selectionmode = picture.targetdpicture_Bl.nextvalue </list> <values> / targetd_Bl = 0 / targetdmagnitude_Bl = "" / targetdpreferred_Bl = "" / targetdnotpreferred_Bl = "" / goalachieved_Bl = false </values> <trial targetdtrial_Bl> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_Bl = list.targetdlist_Bl.nextvalue;] / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "geringe bis gar keine"; if( abs(values.targetd_Bl) > 0.15 ) values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "leichte"; if( abs(values.targetd_Bl) > 0.35 ) values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "moderate"; if( abs(values.targetd_Bl) >= 0.65 ) values.targetdmagnitude_Bl = "starke"; if (values.targetd_Bl >= 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_Bl = item.ingroupLabel_Bl.1; if (values.targetd_Bl < 0.0) values.targetdpreferred_Bl = item.outgroupLabel_Bl.1; if (values.targetd_Bl < 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_Bl = item.ingroupLabel_Bl.1; if (values.targetd_Bl >= 0.0) values.targetdnotpreferred_Bl = item.outgroupLabel_Bl.1;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_Bl] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block givetargetd_Bl> / trials = [1=targetdtrial_Bl] </block> <trial targetdreminder_Bl> / ontrialbegin = [ values.targetd_Bl = list.targetdlist_Bl.nextvalue;] / stimulustimes = [1=targetdpicture_Bl] / validresponse = (" ") / recorddata = false </trial> <block targetdreminder_Bl> / trials = [1=targetdreminder_Bl] </block> *not the whole experiment**** <expt> /blocks = [1=givetargetd_As; 2=givetargetd_Bl; 3=targetdreminder_As; 4=targetdreminder_Bl] </expt>

I did this in the inquisit 5.0 version and now I wanted to test the script in our laboratory which has only Inquisit 4.0 and this error message occurred. As you can see the brackets are not actually missing but I do not know how to resolve the problem. Maybe you can help me again, I would really appreciate that! Thanks Clara It needs to read <list targetdlist_Cel> / items = (-0.65, -0.36, -0.16, 0.0, 0.16, 0.36, 0.65) / selectionmode = picture.targetdpicture_Cel.nextvalue </list> There is no /select attribute for <list>s in Inquisit 4. I'd also recommend you use the version you're going to use to collect data (here: Inquisit 4) to program your scripts in the future. If you rely on syntax features that were only introduced in Inquisit 5, your script will not work under Inquisit 4. Thank you very much!

Best, Clara > could I also, instead of using a batch file or the include element, write literally everything of the 5 IATs in just one file and set up different <expt> element in > that one file for each possible IAT-order? Yes, you can absolutely do that. But note that this is basically the same as using <include>. All <include> does is effectively paste the contents of an external script file into the "main" file. Thank you very much :)
