Hi,
So I have two tasks: 'a' and 'b', each with 4 blocks.
I have counterbalanced the order of the 4 blocks within each of the two scripts as follows:

<expt >
/ subjects = (1 of 8)
/ groupassignment = groupnumber
/ blocks = [1 = training_1_gender; 2 = training_1_emotion; 3 = training_1_both; 4 = block_1; 5 = block_2;
6 = training_2_gender; 7 = training_2_emotion; 8 = training_2_both; 9 = block_3; 10 = block_4;]
</expt>
....

I am wondering how the group number assignment will work if I combine the two scripts using batch element, and then counterbalance the order of task 'a' and 'b' in that script. Will it ask for group number three times - one for a vs b script, one for a script, and one for b script? I do not want the within script counterbalancing of the blocks to be affected by the new script.

Thanks for the help, I think I am just confusing myself.
