Implement Iowa Gambling Task In OpenSesame

umibozu83

hello I would like to implement iowa in a larger project for a test for the university . Some idea?

Josh

Hi,

Tons of ideas - but we'd first need to know how experienced you are in OpenSesame. Did you ever use it before? If not, why not start with a tutorial: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/tutorials/
If you do have some experience with OpenSesame, then we'd also need to know if you have experience with inline_scripts specifically (because I imagine you would need to implement some chance of picking a bad card in the gambling task).

Cheers,

Josh

Hi Josh,

I am just wondering what these ideas are. I am trying to implement the Columbia Card Task for an experiment with my lab. Currently, we are using image_buttons, for mouse clickable images, but we are wondering if there is an easier way (maybe using the sketchpad?). We ideally want to be able to click on a card, flip it and have it be either a win or loose card, randomly. I'm not sure how hard this will be. There's a group of us working on the project, and I would say my knowledge of Open Sesame is decent, but other members in the lab are more fluent.

Thank you in advanced!

Hi Maddy,

Allow me to respond in place of Josh (@Josh feel free to join in as well).

My first idea is based on two sketchpads with the cards each (images, rectangles, whatever). As soon as a click occurs on either of them (implemented in an inline_script and custom defined regions of interest), the next sketchpad appears with one of the cards flipped.

Rather straightforward, right? Or are there more intricacies that I ignored foolishly?

@Josh I remember Lucas (Peek) once programmed a task like this. If you still have his contact info, maybe he is willing to send his version as an example.

That would be extremely helpful if he sent his version for an example.
