How to randomize the order of blocks between participants

MicolG · March 2021

Hi,

I've been programming my experiment in Javascript (for OSWeb), and I need to randomize the order of blocks.

What should I code at the beginning of experiment in order to get my blocks randomly presented between participants?

Many thanks,

MG

The simplest solution seems to:

Nest your blocks (say, block_loop_1 and block_loop_2) in a main-level loop-sequence structure
Define a block id in the top-level loop (and set the order to random)

Use Run-if statements in the top-level sequence to determine which block should be run, depending on the block id.

By doing so, you don't need any JavaScript. Does this answer your question?

I attached a small example experiment.

Cheers,

Lotje
