[open] Logger only stores one variable

GuidoCor

Hi, first of all, thanks for this good free substitute tool for psychology experiments. I love it.

Then, I need some help because a I have an experiment that consists in a pilot study of recognition and value of brands. We have to ask for in which degree they know the brand, and then in a SAM (Self Asesment Manikin) to value the emotional valence or in the inverse order (first the SAM and then Recognition)

I made the experiment and passed to some subjects, but now I see that it only stores the 'Recognition' variable (as response1, response2... depending on which the subject tapped ) but not the SAM. I don't know what's happening, in previous versions the script stored both variables. Now I'm feeling very sad : (

Someone know what's happening?

in this Dropbox link I left the entire project and the responses taken.

Thank you very much.

PS: is a project for use in Android devide

For other's reference, the code for the relevant form_base items that you use:

"SAM" rating scale:

set margins "50;10;10;10"
set rows "1;2"
set spacing "0"
set description "A generic form plug-in"
set cols "1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1"
widget 1 0 7 1 label center="yes" text="¿En qué grado le agrada la marca?"
widget 0 1 1 1 image_button path="sam1.png" var="sam1"
widget 1 1 1 1 image_button path="sam2.png" var="sam2"
widget 2 1 1 1 image_button path="sam3.png" var="sam3"
widget 3 1 1 1 image_button path="sam4.png" var="sam4"
widget 4 1 1 1 image_button path="sam5.png" var="sam5"
widget 5 1 1 1 image_button path="sam6.png" var="sam6"
widget 6 1 1 1 image_button path="sam7.png" var="sam7"
widget 7 1 1 1 image_button path="sam8.png" var="sam8"
widget 8 1 1 1 image_button path="sam9.png" var="sam9"

Rating scale:

set margins "100;10;50;10"
set rows "1;1;1"
set spacing "0"
set description "A generic form plug-in"
set cols "1;1;1;1;1"
widget 1 0 3 1 label center="yes" text="¿En qué grado conoce la marca?"
widget 0 1 1 1 label text="NADA"
widget 4 1 1 1 label text="MUCHO"
widget 0 2 1 1 button var="response1" text="1"
widget 1 2 1 1 button var="response2" text="2"
widget 2 2 1 1 button var="response3" text="3"
widget 3 2 1 1 button var="response4" text="4"
widget 4 2 1 1 button var="response5" text="5"

Logger is set to autodetect and log everything.

As you can see from your own script, you are storing responses to different variable names per response: sam and response followed by the response number. Can you not find the sam bits in your log file?

GuidoCor

No I couldn't . It only stored the Response. Is strange, I made up a new version and in the new version all works normally storing all like I want. But I'm upset because I want to know what's happening, why OpenSesame doesn't stored my variables... I lost some subjects data! : (

I went through your log file and couldn't find it either. Very strange indeed! It's good to know, though, that your new version works.

About losing subject data: that's why it's so important to test your experiments before you start testing real people.
