Dear Supreme Beings of Inquisit:
For one of my experiment, I have several survey pages. On each page there are two faces, and participants indicate their preference between each pair of faces using a radiobutton. I want to make it so that pictures that have appeared earlier in the experiment will never appear again later in the experiment.
I have been using the "picture" element, with the "/ resetinterval=0" option. However, I've been trying to switch to using the "image" element (with "pictures", image will disappear if participants click on the next button before making a choice), however, "image" element does not work with "/ resetinterval=0". I wonder if there are other control structures in Inquisit that allows us to do this?
Here are chunks of the code that might be relevant, I'm using Inquisit 5 on mac:
###Define item picture set 1
<item pairs30_40_M_1>
/ 1 = "FL_M_D_Kerner.jpg"
/ 2 = "MI_M_R_Chatfiled.jpg"
/ 3 = "NM_M_R_Pirtle.jpg"
/ 4 = "FL_M_R_Hutson.jpg"
/ 5 = "OH_M_D_Barton.jpg"
/ 6 = "FL_M_D_McGhee.jpeg"
/ 7 = "ID_M_R_Chaney.jpg"
</item>
<picture pairs30_40_m_r>
/ position = (85, 25)
/ size = (30%,30%)
/ items = pairs30_40_M_1
/ resetinterval=0
</picture>
###Define item picture set 2
<item pairs40_50_M_2>
/ 1 = "PA_M_R_McIlhinney.jpg"
/ 2 = "NV_M_R_hammond.jpg"
/ 3 = "CA_M_D_Bloom.jpg"
/ 4 = "FL_M_D_clemens.jpg"
/ 5 = "ID_M_R_Crane.jpg"
/ 6 = "IOWA_M_D_Danielson.jpg"
</item>
<picture pairs40_50_m_r>
/ position = (85, 25)
/ size = (30%,30%)
/ items = pairs40_50_M_2
/ resetinterval=0
</picture>
###Define Radiobutton
<radiobuttons paired1>
/ caption=""
/ options=("Vote for the candidate on the left ","Vote for the candidate on the right")
/ optionvalues = ("1", "2")
/ orientation = horizontal
/ position = (10,88)
/ size = (1500,1500)
/ required=true
</radiobuttons>
###Defining Survey Pages
<surveypage m_4050_3040_1>
/ stimulusframes = [1= noreplacenorepeat(pairs30_40_m_l);2= noreplacenorepeat(pairs40_50_m_r) ; 3 = noreplacenorepeat(malenames_right); 4 = noreplacenorepeat(malenames_left); 5 = noreplacenorepeat(address_left); 6 = noreplacenorepeat(address_right); 7= noreplacenorepeat(occupation_right); 8 = noreplacenorepeat(occupation_left); 9 = noreplacenorepeat(statement_left);10 = noreplacenorepeat(statement_right)]
/ caption = ""
/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", -16, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ questions = [1=paired1]
/ nextbuttonposition = (90, 90)
/ finishlabel = "Next"
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ showquestionnumbers = false
</surveypage>
###Defining Survey
<survey survey>
/ pages = [1-20=noreplacenorepeat(
f_3040_4050_1,f_3040_4050_2,f_3040_4050_3,f_3040_4050_4,f_3040_4050_5,
f_4050_3040_1,f_4050_3040_2,f_4050_3040_3,f_4050_3040_4,f_4050_3040_5,
m_3040_4050_1,m_3040_4050_2,m_3040_4050_3,m_3040_4050_4,m_3040_4050_5,
m_4050_3040_1,m_4050_3040_2,m_4050_3040_3,m_4050_3040_4,m_4050_3040_5)]
/ showbackbutton = false
/ responsefontstyle = ("Verdana", 2.5%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ itemfontstyle = ("Verdana", 2.5%, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ nextbuttonposition = (80%,90%)
/ itemspacing = 1%
/ screencolor = white
/ finishlabel = "Next"
</survey>
Many thanks!
