Hello, 


I am trying to make a survey where an image will be displayed followed by a question with a likert style response scale, followed by another image and then another question with a likert style response scale, and so forth. This will be repeated for 25 different images and 25 different questions. 


Right now, my survey will sometimes show more than 1 image followed by more than 1 question/likert response scale in a row. 


How do I let Inquisit know that I want it to intersperse images and questions so that 1 image is always displayed followed by 1 question/likert response scale and then another image and then a question/likert response scale and so forth?


I've pasted my script below and would be tremendously grateful for any advice!

The /trials definitions in your <block> elements don't make sense. Also note that whatever happens there in one block does not affect anything in any other block.


I'd recommend you first give the tutorials in the Inquisit documentation a(nother) go. That should clarify the basic logic of setting up blocks, trials, etc.


As to your question re. how to run trials and likerts alternatingly:


<block myblock>
/ trials = [1,3,5,7,9,11=noreplacenorepeat(triala, trialb, trialc); 2,4,6,8,10,12=mylikert]
</block>


See the documentation for the /trials attribute for details.
