code for simple counter

Jarrodhollis

I am trying to write open sesame code to implement a simple counter for total correct responses for three differnt types of word stmuli. Its a simple yes-no experiment with keypress response.

I have used a varable in the loop to specify the word type.

I am having difficulty with the code. Ive used "run if" part of the loop for the conditions,

What I want to do is when the keypress response is correct AND it belongs to type x I want the counter to increase. At the end of the experiment i want the screen to show the count for correct responses for each of the 3 stimulus types

To start with I tried to assign a variable for each type and form a basic counter to count the yes responses, but i have havent got the syntax correct. Can anyone help me?

Hi Jarrold,

The problem is that for now you just made the showing of the sketchpads named count1/2/3 conditional on the type (and a correct response), but you are not updating any of the variables after assigning them the initial 0 values. I would write a small inline python script.

In your Assignvar script you could make variables

var.reg = 0

var.irr = 0

var.non = 0

Then instead of the count1/2/3 sketchpads you could use an inline script with something like this:

if var.type == 1 and var.correct == 1:

var.reg += 1

elif var.type == 2 and var.correct == 1:

var.irr += 1

elif var.type == 3 and var.correct == 1:

var.non += 1

Think that should work.

Cheers,

Louisa
