Hello,



I want to present two statements on the screen which belong together, i.e. any time a statement from stimulus list A is shown, the respective statement from stimulus list B should appear as well. I could already solve this issue with help of the /select = ....currentindex function and defining separate stim/stimB lists (each containing 24 statements).
I am now struggling the the randomization of the statement sequence: I want to counterbalance whether statement A is presented first and followed by the respective statement B, or whether statement B is presented first and followed by the respective statement A. I thought of using a counter, however, it seems that there are still some double trials because sometimes, the statement is drawn directly from the list, and sometimes only indirectly via the corresponding list.

How can I solve this problem and "exclude" also those statements which were only drawn via the /select function?

Any advice would be great!

Thank you in advance and kind regards,
L.
