+x+xHi Dave,
I have some questions regarding the registration of participants’ data response in the data file.
I have two types of word stimuli: column “word”, and column “word_fillers”. Every 20 words of the “word” stimuli, one word of the “word_fillers” appears. The stimuli is coded as “norepeatword”. There’s 2 radiobutton questions (q1 and q2) for each stimuli. Responses are registered in the data file in columns “radiobuttons.q1.response” and radiobuttons.q2.response” for “word” and “radiobuttons.q1_fillers.response” and “radiobuttons.q2_fillers.response” for “word_fillers”. As you can see in the red lines, when the “word” trial ends, and the “word_fillers” begin, it still registers the response of the last “word” trial along with the new “word_fillers” trial, and vice versa. Is it possible to have one or the other register in the data sheet response, and how can I code it in the script?
My second question is the following, to each questions q1 and q2, there’s a “unknown word” checkbox. Some participants will mistakenly have answered q1 and q2 and have the unknown word checked. Is it possible to only register the “unknown checked word” if the checkbox is checked? And how can I code it?
I can also send you my script privately,
Thanks for your help, very much appreciate it

The values of the radiobuttons.q1.response and radiobuttons.q2.response properties do not change during the word_filler trial, and that is exactly what the data reflects. It's the expected behavior. Use values if you do not want that and make sure to store the responses for q1 and q1_fillers in the same value, as well as the responses for q2 and q2_fillers in the same value.
Since you did not provide any actual code, it is impossible to answer your second question. I have no idea what you are referring to.
Thanks Dave, yes that makes sense, but I'm not sure how to do these changes. I have included my code here if you can help that would be great.
