One prime, several targets
Hello everyone,
I´m struggeling with a certain problem on OpenSesame: For my experiment on speech act recognition, I need to design an experiment in which every trial consists of ONE prime and SEVERAL target words:
1)Prime
2) Fix.dot
3) Lexical decision (4 words after one another).
4) Control question
For my trial sequence, I used sketchpads, but now what the loop does is, to run the trial in the following order:
1)Prime
2)Fix dot
3)Lexical decision
1)Prime
2)Fix dot
3)Lexical decision
and so on... I´m really desperate because I only want the prime to be shown once at the start and than to be followed by four different targets.
Can anybody help me?

Hi,
Try to make a separate loop for the third phase. So, something like this:
Prime loop
1) Prime
2) fixdot
3) Lexical loop
a) first word
b) second word ...
4) Control
Does that make sense?

Thank you very much for your quick reply, you helped me a lot!!! Just allow me one more question: Do I have to put a logger for every loop now or is one enough for the whole experiment? And where do I need to put it?
Thanks a lot
Letizia?
Hi Letizia,
All the logger does is writing one line to the logfile with all variables that exist at that point. Therefore, you should add the logger there, where a trial ends in your design, so that you capture every response. Does that make sense?

Thanks, I´ll follow your advice :)
