Hi all,
I'm currently trying to create a thought suppression task where, at the beginning of each trial, participants are presented with a word that they have to avoid thinking about.
I'd like to make catch trials where participants have to identify the word they were previously shown, from a list, at the end of the trial (to ensure they are paying attention). At the moment I'm using radiobuttons to achieve this.
On each trial, the word is drawn from a list of items and so the correct radiobutton response on catch trials will be conditional. I'm not sure to to make this happen as radiobutton doesn't have the /iscorrectresponse option.
Here's the relevant parts of the script I have so far:
<item CatchTrialItems> /1 = "Dog" /2 = "Cat" /3 = "Bird" /4 = "Fish" /5 = "Horse" /6 = "Spoon" /7 = "Table" /8 = "Chair" /9 = "Desk" /10 = "Lamp" </item>
<text CatchTrialText> / items = CatchTrialItems / fontstyle = ("Arial", 5%) / txcolor = white / halign = center / valign = center / select = noreplacenorepeat </text>
<text ThoughtSuppInstuctCatch> / items = ("Don't think about a <%text.CatchTrialText.currentitem%>") / fontstyle = ("Arial", 5%) / txcolor = white / halign = center / valign = center </text>
<text mask> /items = ("+") / fontstyle = ("Symbol", 12%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1) / txcolor = (white) /txbgcolor = black /position = (50%, 50%) /erase = false </text>
<trial CatchTrial> / stimulustimes = [1 = CatchTrialText; 3000 = ThoughtSuppInstuctCatch; 5000 = dummy; 5000 = mask] / trialduration = 15000 / branch = [ surveypage.catchpage ] </trial>
<surveypage catchpage> /questions = [1=catch] /showpagenumbers = false /showquestionnumbers = false /showbackbutton = false / fontstyle = ("Arial", 10%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1) / txcolor = (255, 255, 255) /itemfontstyle = ("Arial", 5%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1) /responsefontstyle = ("Arial", 3%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1) / errormessage = true(Error,800) / correctmessage = true(accurate,800) / ontrialend = [list.CatchAccuracy.insertitem(surveypage.catch.correct, 1); ] </surveypage>
<radiobuttons catch> / caption = "What object were you not supposed to think about?" / options = ("Dog"; "Cat"; "Bird"; "Fish"; "Horse"; "Spoon"; "Table"; "Chair"; "Desk"; "Lamp";) / optionvalues = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10") / validresponse = ("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "10") / orientation = vertical / required = true </radiobuttons>
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!
