Dear Inquisit,
I recently downloaded a script in order to adapt it for my own study (
http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/spatialdelayedresponsetask/), where participants will essentially have to click and drag stimuli to their preference. However, instead of images, I would like participants to click and drag a sentence to a destination within the proximity of another, stationary, sentence. Most of the mechanics work; however, there are a few questions/issues:
1) Is there a way to present stimuli in a fashion that the text would be able to overlap one another, such that the dragged text does not erase the stationary text (I have tried using the text as an image with a transparent background to no avail)?
2) To measure the proximity, I have placed a black circle at the beginning of each sentence, such that the participant is instructed to use the circle as a guide to how close/far one sentence is from the other. How does one measure the proximity of one stimulus to another, in relation to the participants own monitor (as this will be conducted as an online study)? Currentlly
I have attached my script in case it is useful. The answer may lie within the linked script, but unfortunately it is way beyond my Inquisit comprehension at the moment, so for that I apologise.
Many thanks in advance,
Josh
