Sorry, I accidentally did not attach the full thing. This script works, but how do I get the next audio clip to play after the first response box? So far I've only gotten the audio to play at the same time, and if I Try to repeat it says "<trial playaudio> is defined more than once. "<openended getresponse> is defined more than once.". Sorry for all of these questions haha I've had no one to teach me.

The two sound elements are completely unnecessary and serve no purpose whatsoever. Just like in the example code I gave you, you do:

<trial playaudio>
/ stimulusframes = [1=Olivia_Wilson, audio]
/ validresponse = (0)
/ trialduration = 7000
</trial>

with

<video audio>
/ items = audioitems
/ playthrough = true
/select=sequence

<item audioitems>

</item>

Hi again! Many thanks for all the help, this doesn't come naturally to me so I have a lot to learn.

One more thing: Using the same script, I now have 10 audio clips that are played in the experiment, but want to randomize the order of the audio clip so that audio clip 1 (i.e. OliviaWilson001) is always played first and then clips 2-10 are played in a randomized order. So far the only thing I've found is the noreplace function like this;


<video audio2>
/ items = audioitems2
/ playthrough = true
/select= noreplace
</video>

but this plays all the clips in a random order and I would need the one clip to be played first always and then the rest randomly. Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks :)

To do this, you need to work with nested lists.

<list audio2list>
/ items = (1, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue,
    list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue)
/ selectionmode = sequence
</list>

<list audio2random>
/ items = (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
/ selectionmode = random
/ replace = false
</list>

Amazing, thank you so much for the quick and helpful response!!!

One more question, I have two different sets of stimuli and instrcutions and I need to randomize the pairing of the instructions and the target (i.e. make both sets of stimuli appear with both types of instructions). i.e:

<block Olivia_Wilson>
/ preinstructions = (page.Rehearsal, page.Observer)
/ trials = [1-10=sequence(playaudio2, getresponse2); 11=surveypage.StrategiesA]
/select = noreplace
</block>

You can see both of the instructions there. How do I get it to randomly choose only one instruction to display?

If this is supposed to be a between-subjects manipulation, you need to set up multiple conditions. Beyond that, there's not enough information to provide a good answer. It's unclear what "I have two different sets of stimuli and instrcutions and I need to randomize the pairing of the instructions and the target (i.e. make both sets of stimuli appear with both types of instructions)" is supposed to mean exactly.

Sorry, that was very unclear, I've been sitting at my computer for too long!

It's a within-subjects manipulation, I have two target faces (i.e. target A and target B) that give participants "spoken" information about themselves (for example their favourite food) through the audio files. The participants have to remember as much information as they can as they will be quizzed later on about the information they hear. Participants receive instrcutions for one of two memory strategies (i.e. strategy A and strategy B) before each target face to help them learn the information. I want to make the instrcutions appear randomly before the target face (so for example, you could randomly get strategy A before target B, or strategy B before target B etc.), but I'm not sure how to get only one of the instrcutions to appear randomly before the target face. I'll attach the script. I hope this is more clear, sorry again.

Sorry, I accidentally did not attach the full thing. This script works, but how do I get the next audio clip to play after the first response box? So far I've only gotten the audio to play at the same time, and if I Try to repeat it says "<trial playaudio> is defined more than once. "<openended getresponse> is defined more than once.". Sorry for all of these questions haha I've had no one to teach me.

Hi again! Many thanks for all the help, this doesn't come naturally to me so I have a lot to learn.

One more thing: Using the same script, I now have 10 audio clips that are played in the experiment, but want to randomize the order of the audio clip so that audio clip 1 (i.e. OliviaWilson001) is always played first and then clips 2-10 are played in a randomized order. So far the only thing I've found is the noreplace function like this;


<video audio2>
/ items = audioitems2
/ playthrough = true
/select= noreplace
</video>

but this plays all the clips in a random order and I would need the one clip to be played first always and then the rest randomly. Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks :)

To do this, you need to work with nested lists.

<video audio2>
/ items = audioitems2
/ playthrough = true
/select= list.audio2list.nextvalue
</video>

<list audio2list>
/ items = (1, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue,
    list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue, list.audio2random.nextvalue)
/ selectionmode = sequence
</list>

<list audio2random>
/ items = (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
/ selectionmode = random
/ replace = false
</list>

Amazing, thank you so much for the quick and helpful response!!!

One more question, I have two different sets of stimuli and instrcutions and I need to randomize the pairing of the instructions and the target (i.e. make both sets of stimuli appear with both types of instructions). i.e:

<block Olivia_Wilson>
/ preinstructions = (page.Rehearsal, page.Observer)
/ trials = [1-10=sequence(playaudio2, getresponse2); 11=surveypage.StrategiesA]
/select = noreplace
</block>

You can see both of the instructions there. How do I get it to randomly choose only one instruction to display?

If this is supposed to be a between-subjects manipulation, you need to set up multiple conditions. Beyond that, there's not enough information to provide a good answer. It's unclear what "I have two different sets of stimuli and instrcutions and I need to randomize the pairing of the instructions and the target (i.e. make both sets of stimuli appear with both types of instructions)" is supposed to mean exactly.

Sorry, that was very unclear, I've been sitting at my computer for too long!

It's a within-subjects manipulation, I have two target faces (i.e. target A and target B) that give participants "spoken" information about themselves (for example their favourite food) through the audio files. The participants have to remember as much information as they can as they will be quizzed later on about the information they hear. Participants receive instrcutions for one of two memory strategies (i.e. strategy A and strategy B) before each target face to help them learn the information. I want to make the instrcutions appear randomly before the target face (so for example, you could randomly get strategy A before target B, or strategy B before target B etc.), but I'm not sure how to get only one of the instrcutions to appear randomly before the target face. I'll attach the script. I hope this is more clear, sorry again.

<expt Test>

/ blocks = [

1-2 = noreplace(

Joan_Gonzalez,

)

]

</expt>

Okay, that is much clearer. The easiest way, then, is to put the two types of instructions into their own blocks, and then simply randomize the occurence of those two blocks before the Olivia_Wilson and Joan_Gonzalez blocks.

In short:
