Return to sketchpad of choice
Hi all,
I'm running a self-paced memory experiment where in the identification phase participants need to identify a set of images. Is it possible to let them freely browse the images in any order they choose and be able to select any image from any other image?
A similar feature is available on forms/survey websites (although these wouldn't be appropriate due to stimulus randomisation and recording of variables etc), where participants can directly click any question and the box turns green whe the question has been answered.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Joel

As an aside, I forgot to mention I am using OSWeb with the hope of running the experiment online.
Hi,
be able to select any image from any other image?
I am not sure I understand what you mean here.
Generally, having arbitrary order and multiple selection is a bit tricky (I envision a display with many images that is scrollable, a bit like a website). I wouldn't know how to efficiently implement it. What you could try though, is to have a cycle with all images, such that participant can manually continue to click themselves through a sequence of images and respond whenever they recognize something. In case they approached the end, it would just start with the first images again. Once they decide that they are done, there could be an extra button they could press to leave the cycle. Additionally, an image counter could be used, e.g. 1/60 or so in the bottom corner like a page number.
Would something like that work? Implementation would be rather easy. You essentially would need two tested loops with some smart break if statements.
