Hello,

I'd like to present two numbers (1-9) next to each on the screen but I have to avoid ties. I use the follwoing code to prevent the presentation of ties. However, I did not succeed. I also tried other approaches that I found here in the forum (e.g., using a counter) but I still get ties. Any idea why? (Inquisit 2.0.61004.6). There is also a <text left> and a <text right_large element> which have the same structure as the ones posted.

<text right>
 / items = zahlen
 / position = (60%,50%)
 / fontstyle = ("Verdana", 24pt, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
</text>

<text left_large>
 / items = zahlen
 / position = (40%,50%)
 / fontstyle = ("Verdana", 40pt, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
 / select = replacenot(right)
</text>

<item zahlen>
 /1 = "1"
 / 2 = "2"
 / 3 = "3"
 / 4 = "4"
 / 5 = "5"
 / 6 = "6"
 / 7 = "7"
 / 8 = "8"
 / 9 = "9"
</item>

Hi Jens,

I tried this out but I'm not getting any matches. The script I used is below. Perhaps if you compare it with yours you might get a hint about the problem. If not, could you send a more extended snippet that includes the trial definition?

<text right>
/ items = zahlen
/ position = (60%,50%)
/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", 24pt, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
</text>

<text left_large>
/ items = zahlen
/ position = (40%,50%)
/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", 40pt, false, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ select = replacenot(right)
</text>

<item zahlen>
/1 = "1"
/ 2 = "2"
/ 3 = "3"
/ 4 = "4"
/ 5 = "5"
/ 6 = "6"
/ 7 = "7"
/ 8 = "8"
/ 9 = "9"
</item>

<trial selectreplacenot>
/ stimulusframes = [1=right, left_large]
/ validresponse = (" ")
</trial>

<block selectreplacenot>
/ trials = [1-100=selectreplacenot]
</block>

<expt selectreplacenot>
/ blocks = [1=selectreplacenot]
</expt>

 

Hello

here are the trial definitions

<trial left>
 /stimulusframes = [1=fixationskreuz; 29 = blank; 30 = left_large, right]
 /inputdevice = keyboard
 /validresponse = ("f","j")
 /correctresponse = ("f")
</trial>

<trial right>
 /stimulusframes = [1=fixationskreuz; 29 = blank; 30 = left, right_large]
 /inputdevice = keyboard
 /validresponse = ("f","j")
 /correctresponse = ("j")
</trial>

<block large_small>
/ trials = [1 -18 = noreplace(left,right)]
</block>

<expt>
/ blocks = [1 = large_small]
</expt>

Thanks for your help.

Jens
