Millisecond Forums

Hi

I'm trying to create a Minimal Worked Example for an experiment which involves conditional branching to give feedback. Code is below. I can get the items to display, and I can record the keypresses, but the conditional branching doesn't work. The aim is to give 'correct' and 'incorrect' feedback according to a series of values specified in a lis (called 'answer'). The problem is that the conditional statements (in wordTrial) do not succeed in calling further trials to give the feedback. This is either a problem with the way items from the list are selected, or with the conditional statements themselves. It all looks perfectly okay to me.

Any feedback greatly welcomed

Nick
