Hello,

I am trying to run an online experiment involving masked priming lexical decision task that uses a Latin Square design. Currently, I have four different word lists in four different .iqx files (list1.iqx, list2.iqx, list3.iqx, list4.iqx) and would like to assign participants to one of the four word lists randomly.

I am able to include the files to my main experiment script using the <include> function, but I am unsure on what else to code for the experiment to run with only one of the word list randomly when users participate in the experiment. If I am not mistaken the /precondition using script.subjectid uses the subjectid entered in the dialog box before the experiment begins to select the file, which I don't believe is entirely random.

Is there perhaps some other code I need to add to do this? This is my first time using Inquisit, so any help would be appreciated!

You say you're planning to run this online. That means you can use either subject ID or group ID in the <include> element's /precondition and simply set your web experiment to generate random subject or group IDs in its settings.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for the reply.

I assume that the script for the subjectID in the <include> element would be something similar to this forum reply ? Also, may I know how does the web experiment generate random subject ID? I have yet to register my script, but does it or is it possible to set a range of values to randomly select from?

Sorry for all the questions.

You'll want to do something like this https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost19972.aspx
