[open] Keeping score and showing it on screen

patluque

Hello,
I am developing an experiment with two concurrent VI schedules.
Each schedule awards different amount of points to the subject (10 or 100 points).
However, I am having a lot of trouble to sum up those points, and show the total on the screen.
Is it possible to do that in Open Sesame?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Patrícia,

Hello, I am developing an experiment with two concurrent VI schedules.

I had to look this up, but I'm guessing you're doing a variable-interval reinforcement-schedule experiment. Right?

Each schedule awards different amount of points to the subject (10 or 100 points). However, I am having a lot of trouble to sum up those points, and show the total on the screen. Is it possible to do that in Open Sesame?

That's certainly possible, but the details depend on the structure of your experiment. What does your experiment look like right now? What kind of experimental variables do you have? Please provide sufficient detail, and, if necessary, upload your script to something like pastebin.com.

Cheers!
