Is this the accurate syntax for it ? <expt> / subjects = (1 of 6) / groupassignment = groupnumber / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2 = wordmemory; 3 = wordmemory2; 4 = wordmemory3;] </expt> <expt> / subjects = (2 of 6) / groupassignment = groupnumber / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2 = wordmemory; 3 = wordmemory3; 4 = wordmemory2;] </expt> <expt> / subjects = (3 of 6) / groupassignment = groupnumber / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2 = wordmemory2; 3 = wordmemory3; 4 = wordmemory;] </expt> <expt> / subjects = (4 of 6) / groupassignment = groupnumber / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2 = wordmemory2; 3 = wordmemory; 4 = wordmemory3;] </expt> <expt> / subjects = (5 of 6) / groupassignment = groupnumber / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2 = wordmemory3; 3 = wordmemory; 4 = wordmemory2;] </expt> <expt> / subjects = (6 of 6) / groupassignment = groupnumber / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2 = wordmemory3; 3 = wordmemory2; 4 = wordmemory;] Attachments TheWordMemoryTaskModified2DATA.iqx (494 views, 65.00 KB)

If you merely want to randomize the order (not treating it as a systematic between-subjects manipulation), then you would simply make do with a single <expt> element: <expt> / postinstructions = (end) / onexptend = [values.completed = 1] / blocks = [1 = wordmemory0; 2-4 = noreplace(wordmemory, wordmemory2, wordmemory3)] </expt>

I sent a link to my experiment to a few people via email but they all encountered the same block order, why is that?

I cannot answer that without (a) the relevant code from the script and (b) the link you sent out.

I could not copy paste the relevant syntax in the op however.
