You sample all available 16 positions in every single trial. Thus you have no control over where the target image appears across all trials. You need to do something along the lines of http://www.millisecond.com/forums/Topic5506.aspx#5506 instead.

Hi all, 


I'm programming a task in which people have to click a target image in a 4 by 4 square matrix. Each trial, the target image needs to be presented in a different square of the matrix (until all 16 squares have been used). I haven't been able to get the image to appear randomly in each of the 16 squares. Here's what I have so far:



*****************


<counter hpositions>


/ items = (112mm, 144mm,176mm, 208mm, 112mm,144mm,176mm, 208mm,112mm,144mm,176mm, 208mm,112mm,144mm,176mm, 208mm) 


/ select = noreplacenorepeat


/ selectionrate = always


</counter>



<counter vpositions>


/ items = (52mm, 52mm, 52mm, 52mm, 84mm, 84mm, 84mm, 84mm, 116mm, 116mm, 116mm, 116mm, 148mm, 148mm,148mm, 148mm) 


/ select = current(hpositions)


/ selectionrate = always


</counter>



*****************



<picture p01>


/ items = ("sm1.bmp")


/ position = (0,0)


/ size = (30mm, 30mm)


</picture>



<picture p02>


/ items = ("fr2.bmp")


/ position = (0,0)


/ size = (30mm, 30mm)


</picture>



<picture p03>


/ items = ("fr3.bmp")


/ position = (0,0)


/ size = (30mm, 30mm)


</picture>



<picture p04>


/ items = ("fr4.bmp")


/ position = (0,0)


/ size = (30mm, 30mm)


</picture>
