Clusi - 9/2/2020

Hello everyone,
I am computing a learning task in which participants have to recall target words that were previously paired with cue words. As the later tasks depend on the learning task, I want to make sure that participants recalled at least 50% "correct" before continuing the study. This all happens online, so I need to automatize this process. The /iscorrectresponse element works fine, but I think it is too restrictive given the time pressured responses. --> i want to allow for spelling mistakes. Thus, I essentially would like to combine multiple string functions (e.g., correct length +- 1 letter, contains the start, and/or contains the end letters).

However, I am struggling with the correct coding of the expressions attributes. I have tried to put this in any imaginable format but the output just doesn't fit what I want it to look like. So, the rows marked in bold are what I currently came up with, but they don't work properly.

I have also tried to tear the /ontrialend command apart into if else attributes, but that also returns a value of 4 no matter the amount of letters in the participants' answers:
/ ontrialend = [if (0 <= expressions.length_personal_response - expressions.length_correct_response <2)
                {
                values.correct_length = values.correct_length+1;
                }

                {

Hello everyone,
I am computing a learning task in which participants have to recall target words that were previously paired with cue words. As the later tasks depend on the learning task, I want to make sure that participants recalled at least 50% "correct" before continuing the study. This all happens online, so I need to automatize this process. The /iscorrectresponse element works fine, but I think it is too restrictive given the time pressured responses. --> i want to allow for spelling mistakes. Thus, I essentially would like to combine multiple string functions (e.g., correct length +- 1 letter, contains the start, and/or contains the end letters).

However, I am struggling with the correct coding of the expressions attributes. I have tried to put this in any imaginable format but the output just doesn't fit what I want it to look like. So, the rows marked in bold are what I currently came up with, but they don't work properly.

I have also tried to tear the /ontrialend command apart into if else attributes, but that also returns a value of 4 no matter the amount of letters in the participants' answers:
/ ontrialend = [if (0 <= expressions.length_personal_response - expressions.length_correct_response <2)
                {
                values.correct_length = values.correct_length+1;
                }
                else if (0 <= expressions.length_correct_response - expressions.length_personal_response <2)
                {
                values.correct_length = values.correct_length+1
                }
                else
                {
                values.correct_length = values.correct_length
                }
                ]

The correct formulation is something along the below lines:

<openended testfeedback_phase>
/ stimulustimes = [0= text.focuspoint; 200=cue_word_testfeedback; 200=text.type_response_word]
/ response = correct
/ iscorrectresponse = [
toupper(openended.testfeedback_phase.response) == item.real_response_word.item(text.cue_word_testfeedback.currentindex);
]

/ position = (50,90)
/ recorddata = true
/ timeout = 5400
/ ontrialend = [values.trial_number = values.trial_number+1]
/ ontrialend = [if(openended.testfeedback_phase.correct) values.trial_correct = values.trial_correct+1]

/ ontrialend = [if (abs(expressions.length_correct_response - expressions.length_personal_response) >= 0 && abs(expressions.length_correct_response - expressions.length_personal_response) < 2) values.correct_length += 1;]
</openended>

/ ontrialend = [if (abs(expressions.length_personal_response - expressions.length_correct_response) > 0 && abs(expressions.length_personal_response - expressions.length_correct_response) < 2) values.correct_length += 1;]

okay please forget about this message, i figured the abs returns the absolute value :) so adding another line of the reversed things will return exactly  the same -.

That's right. The reason for using abs(), i.e. returning the absolute value of the difference, was to avoid multiple statements and rather fold it all into one.

alright makes sense. And if I want to add the "contains" function, is it fine if I just say
