Presenting sentences one word at a time

ainimj

Hi there,

I'm currently working on an experiment where I want sentences to be presented one word at a time. I am using the loop table with individual words in the sentence written in each cell, as shown below:

I'm using the sketchpad to display each word [W1] - [W6] for 500ms. But as you can see, in the second sentence, two of the cells are blank.

I'm trying to use the conditional 'run if' statements to indicate that the Wx variable should only be displayed for 500ms when the cell contains a word. Otherwise it should skip to Probe display. But I'm not sure what to replace 'always' with.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi @ainimj ,

I'm assuming that you have a series of sketchpad items in a sequence , and that they have names like word_w1, word_w6, etc. If so, then you can void word_w6 from being shown when the W6 variable is empty with the following run-if statement: [W6] != ""

I hope this helps!

Cheers,

Sebastiaan
