[open] Problem with sequence

wietekevrouwe

Hi all!

As you can see I am new to this forum.
I have a problem running sequences exactly the way I want it. In the experiment, female_sequence and male_sequence have to run twice. However, when I run the sequence for the first time, of the images that I want to run with DurFem and DurMale only the first one shows. When running the sequence for the second time, all images (expect the first) are shown in multiple rounds. I just want to show every image once in the first loop, and then again every image once in the second loop.
How can I do this?

Thanks!!

Edwin

Welcome to the forum!

Although the image of your overview is very clear (thanks for providing that!), I'm not quite sure what it is you are trying to do, and where this goes awry.

It sounds like DurFem should simply be presenting one image per trial. Is this correct? If so: have you defined the image name in your loop item?

The easiest way to present different images in each trial, is to define a variable in your loop item (let's call it imgname). This image name should be of an image that is present in your file pool, and should be different in each cycle. For example stim1.png in the first cycle, and example2.png in the second. In your sketchpad, select the Image tool, and click on the location on which you want to present the image. First select a random file from your pool. Then open the sketchpad's script editor (by clicking the black box labelled ">_") in the top right). Change the file name to [imgname].

It should read something like this:

draw image 0 0 "[imgname]" scale=1 center=1 show_if="always"

If something else is amiss, please elaborate on your problem and consider posting the experiment script.

Good luck!
