if statements and image_buttons

Darby

I want to make a conditional statement based on which image_button is selected in a form. For example, if image A is selected, I would like the program to play sound 1, if image B is selected, I would like the program to play sound 2.

I think the issue is that when image_buttons are selected, the response is coded as yes or no. It seems that in the sequence item, you can't make if statements based on yes/no responses.

This got me wondering if overlaying a touch response on the form would work, but this quickly broke what I put together.

I know this is possible with sketchpad items, but it seems like forms would give me easier control of the placement of images since it uses a grid system rather than a coordinate system. Furthermore, defining the correct clicks on an image in sketchpad is difficult. I can do it with circular stimuli, but haven't figured out how to do it with rectangular stimuli.

Any suggestions?

Hi Darby,

It seems that in the sequence item, you can't make if statements based on yes/no responses.

Why would that be?
In a sequence you can specify all kinds of conditionals in the run_if field for a specific item. In your case it probably would be something like [response] = 'yes'. Have you tried that?
