Clusi - 8/3/2020

Hello everyone!

I am currently programming a script where each of the 50 cue items has 1 corresponding response item. Throughout the paradigm, participants must learn their association, so when presented with the cue item, they should write down the response item in a textbox. Irrespective of whether they gave the correct answer, they will be presented with the correct answer after every trial. I would like to know 2 things:

1. How to set the corresponding response item as the correct response of the respective cue item? (So that I can let inquisit count the number of correctly recalled items)

2. How to deal with spelling mistakes? (Can I program for example that the responses should have 80% the correct letters?)

Below you find a shortened version of the elements (with just 5 items) that are relevant to this question.

Thank you all very much for your answers. ;) I am really stuck on these questions :/

Kind regards,

Clusi

In short: You don't. Longer answer: If you're feeling creative, you can see whatever you can come up with by elaborate use of the available string functions.

https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v6/html/language/expressions/functions.htm

Percentage of letters would be a bad metric. What you'd really want is a proper edit distance metric ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edit_distance ) such as Levenshtein distance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance ) or the more complex Damerau-Levenshtein distance metric ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damerau%E2%80%93Levenshtein_distance ). However, these algorithms aren't the easiest to implement and they can be quite costly computationally, so I'd probably opt for calculating these later during data analysis instead of on-the-fly if I were you.
