Loop item within sequence just once
Hi everyone,
I am currently building an experiment with 4 independent groups. At the beginning participants are randomly assigned to one of the groups (one of the block_loops). How can I make it so that they see the "instructions" sketchpad just once while the rest of the block_loop repeats the required 10 times? Since each group has different instructions I don't think I can put the instructions sketchpad before the block_loop.
I'm thinking it might be possible to include a condition in the "run if" statement of the respective trial sequences but I couldn't find how to get it done.
Kind regards
Sören

Hi @soerens ,
The details depend on how you implemented the experiment, but you should probably be able to make use of the fact that each item has a
count_[item name]variable which keeps track of how often the item has been executed. So say that you have asketchpadcalled instructions , then you can use[count_instructions] = 0as a run-if statement to make sure that it is only executed once.— Sebastiaan
