Hello Inquisiters. I have a set of items that I want to administer in a random order. However, there are two sets of rules that I am having difficulty implementing.
First, depending on the age of the participants, I want to administer different sets of items. For example, if a kindergartner is taking the test, I want to administer all items that I believe are kindergarten-level (based on theory), but I also want to administer some of the late-pre-kindergarten items and some of the first-grade items.
Second, regardless of the set of items, I am also considering administering the first X items in the set with some additional prompts in order to help the child understand the task. Specifically, the first X items will contain an additional audio file with instructions to the task. I have figured out how to "hard-code" this by identifying certain items to serve as these practice items, but I can't figure out how to have Inquisit automatically add the additional prompts for those initial items. From looking at the forums and a couple of the examples from the task library, I think I need to use a counter and expressions to track the progress, but I'm new to Inquisit and am not sure.
Could somebody point me to an example or examples that might set me on the right path? I'm very comfortable coding in some languages, but I don't know the keywords to effectively search the Inquisit forums for assistance.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
