Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 3	I have 3 types of trials and 6 different images assigned to each of them. I would like to show each image 5 times across the experiment, but the script shows the images random number of times between 4 and 6. I have correct number of trials of each type within the experiment (30), but am not able to get the same number of repetitions of each image within each trial type. I have tried noreplacenorepeat, counters and resetinterval but this doesn't work. Below the adequate (I hope) fragments of the code: <picture McD> / items = McD_target / size = (32%, 32%) / select = noreplacenorepeat </picture> <item McD_target> /1 = "McD_Logo.jpg" /2 = "McD_Color.jpg" /3 = "McD_Slogan.jpg" /4 = "McD_Ronald.jpg" /5 = "McD_FrenchFries.jpg" /6 = "McD_Coffee.jpg" </item> <picture BK> / items = BK_target / size = (32%, 32%) / select = noreplacenorepeat </picture> <item BK_target> /1 = "BK_Logo.jpg" /2 = "BK_Color.jpg" /3 = "BK_Slogan.jpg" /4 = "BK_Mascot.jpg" /5 = "BK_Whopper.jpg" /6 = "BK_Crown.jpg" </item> <picture Wendy> / items = Wendy_target / size = (32%, 32%) / select = noreplacenorepeat </picture> <item Wendy_target> /1 = "Wendy_Logo.jpg" /2 = "Wendy_Color.jpg" /3 = "Wendy_Slogan.jpg" /4 = "Wendy_Frosty.jpg" /5 = "Wendy_Burger.jpg" /6 = "Wendy_DaveThomas.jpg" </item> <counter McD> / items = ("McD_LogoDebranded.jpg", "McD_Color.jpg", "McD_SloganDebranded.jpg", "McD_RonaldDebranded.jpg", "McD_FrenchFriesDebranded.jpg", "McD_CoffeeDebranded.jpg") / select = noreplacenorepeat / resetinterval = 0 </counter> <counter BK> / items = ("BK_LogoDebranded.jpg", "BK_Color.jpg", "BK_SloganDebranded.jpg", "BK_MascotDebranded.jpg", "BK_Whopper.jpg", "BK_CrownDebranded.jpg") / select = noreplacenorepeat / resetinterval = 0 </counter> <counter Wendy> / items = ("Wendy_LogoDebranded.jpg", "Wendy_Color.jpg", "Wendy_SloganDebranded.jpg", "Wendy_FrostyDebranded.jpg", "Wendy_Burger.jpg", "Wendy_DaveThomasDebranded.jpg") / select = noreplacenorepeat / resetinterval = 0 </counter> <trial McD> / pretrialpause = 200 / stimulustimes = [1=McD, McD_reminder, BK_reminder, Wendy_reminder, none_reminder] / correctresponse = ("d") / validresponse = ("d", "f", "j", "k") / errormessage = true(x, 400) </trial> <trial BK> / pretrialpause = 200 / stimulustimes = [1=BK, McD_reminder, BK_reminder, Wendy_reminder, none_reminder] / correctresponse = ("f") / validresponse = ("d", "f", "j", "k") / errormessage = true(x, 400) </trial> <trial Wendy> / pretrialpause = 200 / stimulustimes = [1=Wendy, McD_reminder, BK_reminder, Wendy_reminder, none_reminder] / correctresponse = ("j") / validresponse = ("d", "f", "j", "k") / errormessage = true(x, 400) </trial> <block attribute> / trials = [1-90 = noreplace(McD, BK, Wendy); 91=instructions] </block>

Running only that block results in each image being shown exactly 5 times for me (i.e., as intended). In the full script, are there any other <block>s running trials that display the same three <picture> elements? If so, try resetting the respective <picture> elements' selection pool explicitly /onblockbegin: <block attribute> / onblockbegin = [ picture.BK.resetselection(); picture.McD.resetselection(); picture.Wendy.resetselection(); ] / trials = [1-90 = noreplace(McD, BK, Wendy); 91=instructions] </block> Hope this helps.

Hi Dave, Thanks a lot - this was exactly the issue; resetselection has resolved the problem. Thanks once more!
