[solved] randomization - text input

pogonophile

I have just recently started to use OpenSesame, and I need your help in making my experiment.

Could you tell me how to randomize the order of text input responses? I've put them in the sequence () - sequence name is "pamcenje", and text inputs are those under the sequence "pamcenje", but I don't know how to make the program randomize the order on which the text inputs appear. Half of my participants should remember objects first, and the other half sentences first, and it's a free recall task.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Marija,

What you can do is add a variable (e.g. 'order') in the variable assistant of your loop_pamcenje, which can have 2 values ( e.g. 0 and 1) and you can randomize in the GUI of the loop.
Then, in the pamcenje sequence you add to the first text input run if [order] =1
and run if [order] = 0 to the other text input.

You know what I mean?

Good luck,

Eduard

Hi Eduard,

I solved the problem in slightly different way (it was quite urgent), but I did a similar thing with the loop part.

Thank you anyway for the response! The way you described is a bit easier, so I'll use it in my next experiment on this topic.

Best,
Marija
