Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 13	Hi :-) I am trying to work through the tutorials for Inquisit 6. Unfortunately the <variables>-tag seems to be missing in the current version. Is it possible to download the scripts for the tutorials for the current version 6? The PDFs as well as the web help and the scripts that are offered for download seem to contain outdated commands. Or have I missed something? I refer mainly to the following code e.g. in PictureIAT.exp: <variables> / group = (1 of 2) (block2=targetcompatiblepractice; block3=compatiblepractice; block4=compatibletestinstructions; block5=compatibletest; block6=targetincompatiblepractice; block7=incompatiblepractice; block8=incompatibletestinstructions; block9=incompatibletest) / group = (2 of 2) (block2=targetincompatiblepractice; block3=incompatiblepractice; block4=incompatibletestinstructions; block5=incompatibletest; block6=targetcompatiblepractice; block7=compatiblepractice; block8=compatibletestinstructions; block9=compatibletest) </variables> How can I make this script run in version 6? Are there updated versions somewhere?

Are there updated versions somewhere? <variables> is indeed obsolete and will not work under Inquisit 6. To counterbalance block orders, simply set up separate <expt> elements, just like the real-world IATs available in the library do: https://www.millisecond.com/download/library/iat/iattemplates/
