Cross-modal priming experiment help!
Hello, I'm a grad student in way over my head. I had no trouble with the tutorial, but as I've been working on my design, I've realized I've got problems I don't know how to solve:
I have a number of visual target words, which are preceded by a prime (out of 3 specific possible audio primes - each target has its own trio of primes). I don't know how to make the sampler randomly select one of the three primes depending on which target word is displayed after the prime. I don't even know how to get the sampler to randomly select a sound file. Each visual target must be displayed only once.
I think I figured out how to change which target word appears, but in the block loop, the column names keep changing on me. So as far as the program is concerned, there is no variable called 'target_word'. I'm running out of time and I'm getting desperate. If someone can give me advice that will make this work, I may be grateful enough to compensate!

Hi,
Can you share your experiment? This will make it easier to help.
Some general advice:
inline_script
s before the trial loop and then randomly chose one of them (using the random.choice() function in the random module). For that you have to use python coding in inline_scripts.Eduard
