I need help to generate an analogical reasoning task on opensesame (I am a begginer)

meto

Hello everyone, I am trying to generate an analogical reasoning task on opensesame. I'm new to opensesame, I have watched some of the tutorials but they were not sufficient. Could you please me help me build this experiment. If you know a similar tutorial or anything to help me please let me know. Thank you for your attention

You can find a picture similar to my task down below. (I am trying to create something like this)

Left part of this picture is the question and the right side of this is going to be multiple choices(I want to use mouse respond)

Hi @meto,

I think the gaze-cuing beginner tutorial will be a good start:

• https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.3/tutorials/beginner/

For collecting mouse clicks as responses, you can make use of the region-of-interest functionality:

• https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.3/manual/response/mouse/#coordinates-and-regions-of-interest-rois

To get you started, perhaps the following example script (where I programmed one trial) could be of help. The clicked response is saved in the output file in the column 'cursor_roi'.

If you need any more specific help, please let us know.

Cheers,

Lotje

Thanks @lvanderlinden this was really helpful, I would like to ask one last question which is about mouse response. Could you tell me how do I define 'valid mouse click coordinates' What I mean by that is if my participants accidentally click on locations irrelevant to my study I don't want my experiment to go on to next page.

In other words, I only want my multiple choice answers to be clickable. Have a good day thank you for your help.

Hi @meto ,

Before answering: Will you be running your experiment online or locally?

Cheers,

Hi @lvanderlinden, I will be running my experiment online

Hi @meto ,

Yesterday I uploaded two Youtube videos about using regions of interest (which is what you are looking for here).

• The first one is about doing this with the graphical user interface (dragging and dropping). You can use this one if you run your experiment locally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21cgX_zHDiA&t=9s
• The second one is about doing the same thing for OSWeb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L9pzw4tpx8

Perhaps you could first see if you could apply this logic to your experiment. If you get stuck, we can help you further on the forum.

Cheers,

Lotje

Hi @lvanderlinden, your second video was really helpful so thanks a lot. I was able to generate my own experiment by the help of your video. However there is one tiny problem, when I create a click loop and a click sequence just like you, I can not run my experiment on my browser. I uploaded my experiment you can have a look.

Have a good day,

Metin

Hi @meto ,

Great to hear that you got so far!! :)

I think you did not upload the most recent version of your experiment, because this one does not contain a click loop and click sequence.

However, I think the issue that you are describing is due to this bug:

• https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/6889/bug-osweb-1-3-12-skips-a-loop-if-there-is-only-one-cycle-in-it#latest

So I'd suggest that you either manually update, or wait for the new release...

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Cheers,

Lotje

Hi again @lvanderlinden, it seems I uploaded the wrong experiment, here is the correct version. I try to manually update my osweb but I couldn't update it yet.

I updated as you suggested and it worked perfectly fine. Thank you for all of your helps @lvanderlinden.
