Linking stimuli between blocks

    Linking stimuli between blocks

    Hi there,

     

    I was wondering whether anyone may be able to help me. My apologies if I’m not being clear here – I’m very much an Inquisit beginner. I’m looking to link stimuli between blocks. Is this at all possible? If so, what type of code would I be looking at? In essence (this is the amended version) I’d like to link A to B and 1 to 2, but A is presented about 3 blocks earlier than B, and 1 3 blocks earlier than B (in the same block). Whilst A and 1 need to be randomised in the first block.

     

    I have this in the 1st block

    <sound block1>

    / items = ("Sound Files\A", "Sound Files\1")

    / select = noreplace

    / playthrough = true

    </sound>

     

    And this in the 2nd block

    <sound block 6>

    / items = ("Sound Files\B", "Sound Files\2")

    / select = linked(block1)

    / playthrough = true

    </sound>

     

    But I keep getting the message: /select: Could not locate element 'sound'.

     

    I’ve tried manipulating the text provided under the Inquisit Help Index Option “Select” but with no success.

     

    I’ve also tried creating blocks to see whether I could create two sets of blocks (instructions, stimulus, questions) and randomise the stimulus part, but I’m having problems getting the <exp> section to actually randomise a group of blocks within a set of blocks.

     

    Can anyone help here?

     

    Thank you!

    Alex
