Grouping text items with picture items together when presenting them...

Group: Forum Members Posts: 11, Visits: 71	Hello, I'm attempting to create a Reading The Eyes of the Mind task, where a picture of a pair of eyes shows up on screen, and the user is given 4 emotion words at each corner (upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, lower-right) and are told to infer the emotion being expressed through the eyes. E.G. Below: So I have a set of <items> of 36 pictures, and 4 sets of <text> for upper-left text, upper-right, lower-left, and lower-right as answer choices. There are correct answers. The issue is, if I want to randomize the trials, I don't have a way of guaranteeing that: 1. The set of 4 text answer choices (arrogant/grateful/sarcastic/tentative for picture 1; dominant/friend/guilty/horrified for picture 2) will always be grouped together. 2. The set of 4 text answer choices will be grouped with its corresponding picture. Any help on this? Thank you!

However, the correct response needs to be tied to the text and pictures as well. Is there a way for Inquisit to do this without having to make a separate trial object for every set of stimuli (words+picture)?

Encode the correct responses in e.g. a <list> element or <counter>, link it to the stimuli and validate via the <trial>'s /iscorrectresponse attribute: <block myblock> / trials = [1-2=mytrial] </block> <trial mytrial> / stimulusframes = [1=mypicture, word1, word2, word3, word4] / inputdevice = mouse / validresponse = (word1, word2, word3, word4) / iscorrectresponse = [trial.mytrial.response == list.cresp.nextvalue] </trial> <picture mypicture> / items = ("A.jpg", "B.jpg") / select = noreplace / size = (25%, 25%) </picture> <text word1> / items = ("A1", "B1") / select = picture.mypicture.currentindex / position = (20%, 10%) </text> <text word2> / items = ("A2", "B2") / select = picture.mypicture.currentindex / position = (80%, 10%) </text> <text word3> / items = ("A3", "B3") / select = picture.mypicture.currentindex / position = (20%, 90%) </text> <text word4> / items = ("A4", "B4") / select = picture.mypicture.currentindex / position = (80%, 90%) </text> <list cresp> / items = ("word1", "word4") / selectionmode = picture.mypicture.currentindex </list>
