Hi,
I present a trial on which a picture ("Alien" randomly drawn from an /item element) is shown together with 48 text elements. Participants should click 6 different elements. When they click a text element it changes color. I am using /branch to restart the trial (until 6 elements have been clicked), but on every restart a different picture is shown. How can I set it so that the picture stays the same until 6 responses are given?
Below is the code for the trial.
Thanks,
Diane
