Run two consecutive Experiments

Monsti501

Hello, I would like to run one Experiment and start a variation of a second Experiment depending on the choices of the participants in the first. Can anyone help me how to that ?

The most straightforward solution would be to store the choices of the participant in a certain file (either text, or a python pickle), load this file in the second script and change settings according to it. I recommend you check out pickles. The use is quite straightfoward:

import pickle

a_list = [1,2,3]
# save a_list in a pickle
output =  open( file_path, "wb" )
pickle.dump(a_list,output)
output.close()

# load a pickle
input = open( filepath, "rb" )
new_list = pickle.load(file_path)
input.close()

# new_list and a_list should be the same
new_list == a_list

Hope this helps,

Eduard

I would put it into one .osexp.
Start with a sequence item.
Put the three experiments into that sequence and use the "Run if".
