Create blocks in one experiment block
I created a block_loop in OpenSesame like this.
The block contains 168 trials and I want it to run 7 repetitions for each trial.
However, that adds up to 1176 sentence which is obviously too much for subjects to do all of them at once.
I want to randomize and split the 1176 trials into 8 blocks (each block with 147 trials).
Does anyone know how to achieve this in OpenSesame? Thanks.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
You can change the number of repetitions of the
block_sequencein theexperimental_loop(instead of in theblock_loopitem), as in the example below.By doing so
sketchpad, which waits for a keypress to continue, you can give the participant a break after every block (see screenshot)Is this what you're looking for?
By the way, I would recommend to collect participants' responses with a
keypress_responseitem, rather than with asketchpaditem.Cheers,

Thanks, Lotje! It is what I wanted!
I didn't use the keypress_response because I'm doing some speech production experiment and am using OpenSesame to just present the stimuli to my subjects. My data will be collected on a different machine. The logger is just like an experiment memo that tells me which data is from which trial.
