Hello all,
I have a question regarding the Scrambled Sentences Task (using the script from the Test Library).
Since we are using German stimuli, we're encountering the problem of flexible sentence structures, meaning even with very simple sentences there is often more than one correct order of words to form a grammatically sound sentence. (For example: "Strangers scare me" could be both "Fremde machen mir Angst" and "mir machen Fremde Angst", both sentences are correct.) As far as I can see, the script as it is only allows for one correct word order per sentence, resulting in trials that would technically be correct but still be classified as incorrect responses because participants picked the alternative word order that wasn't provided in the script. (I hope this isn't too complicated to understand!)
Now it would obviously make things a lot easier if sentences don't have to be manually re-classified as correct/incorrect after data collection and we could instead include multiple correct options in the script. Does anyone know how that might be possible? I'd greatly appreciate any help!
Best, Nathalie
