Hi Dave, I'm trying to have a pre-generated sequence of orientations for the images, so that each trial, there's varying rotation value. I know how the pre-generated sequence works for images, but I can't figure out how to work this out for the orientation. Here is my toy script that I tried with list attributes so that orientation for each trial becomes 30, 45, and 90. <item images> /1 = "stimuli/yellow_line.png" /2 = "stimuli/red_line.png" /3 = "stimuli/blue_line.png" </item>
<picture inst_base> / items = items.images / size = (15%, 30%) / position = (50%, 50%) / rotation = values.ang </picture> <text InstTitle> / items = ("ORIENTATION JUDGEMENT TASK") / fontstyle = ("Arial", 3.5%, true, false, false, false, 5, 1) / position = (50%, 10%) </text>
<text Inst1> / items = ("In this study, you will see a line (BASE IMAGE) and a picture with striples (TARGET IMAGE).") / fontstyle = ("Arial", 3%, false, false, false, false, 5, 1) / position = (50%, 20%) </text>
<list angles> / items = (30 45 90) / selectionmode = sequence </list>
<trial tr_instr1> / stimulusframes = [1 = Inst1, InstTitle, inst_base] / validresponse = (57) / beginresponsetime = 500 / ontrialbegin = [ values.ang = list.angles.nextvalue ] </trial>
My question is - if I want to pre-generate the sequence of orientations (for hundreds of trials) and especially multiple pre-generated sequences that will be randomly assigned to each participant, what would be the best way to implement it? Should my text file include the list? Something like -
<list angles> / items = (30 45 90 30 40 20 50 180 ... 300) / selectionmode = sequence </list>
and, randomly call a file for each participant? (I saw a forum post about this, and I think I can work on it on my own). Or, is there a way to make it an item attribute and use it?
I'm sorry if something similar has been asked before - I couldn't find this exact solution.
Thank you so much for your help in advance! Yaelan
