[open] Multiple choice questions logging response time

dr629

Hi folks,

I'm using OpenSesame to collect data for my Master's Thesis, however I'm completely new to the software and a little short on time, so I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a template or experiment which I could base mine on. I've gone through the beginner's tutorial so have a basic understanding of the software (and could indeed base my experiment on the tutorial framework) however given my experiment is relatively simple, I was hoping there is a preexisting model.

Basically, I'm looking at different methods of vocabulary presentation. I have 10 nonsense words which I will teach participants by associating each word with an image. The experiment will then run a series of multiple choice questions where participants will be presented with either an image and 3 possible words, or a word and 3 possible images. Participants will click the answer they believe to be correct.

I'm planning on running two loops. A practice loop, which logs responses and provides feedback after every question, and the experiment loop, which will record responses and response times.

So is there any chance anyone can point me towards something similar that has already been made (which will of course be acknowledged and referenced), or has any tips for the design?

Many thanks in advance,

Dan.

Hi Dan,

The chance that anyone will have a template of your specific design is small, although there's a questionnaire template in the latest versions of OpenSesame. But it doesn't seem very complicated to implement. My suggestion would be to just see how far you get, and if you run into something, feel free come back here with a more specific question.

Cheers!

Would you be able to tell me where the 'questionnaire template" can be found? I've looked on the site but can't seem to find it.

It's one of the templates in the Get Started tab when you launch OpenSesame!
