resetinterval attribute

The resetinterval attribute determines how many blocks should be run before a counter's randomly selection pool should be reset.

Applies to

<counter> <defaults>

Syntax

/ resetinterval = integer

Parameters

integer A positive integer specifying the number of frames.

Remarks

Reseting the counter causes all items that have been selected to be returned to the selection pool. For selection with replacement, reseting the counter has no effect. By default, Inquisit resets counters after each block. This attribute is useful in cases where an experiment performs random selection without replacement over more than one block.

Examples

The following causes all counters in the script to maintain their selection pools for a total 20 blocks:

<defaults>
/ resetinterval = 20
</defaults>
