Hello,
I have prepared an experiment in Open Sesame in which participant's self-relevant information (e.g., name, surname, city, month of birth) is paired with a particular image stimuli (e.g., happy face) and as control I have used other-information (other names, surnames, cities and months) that are paired with different image stimuli (e.g., happy, neutral and sad faces). The words (self-relevant/other-information) are presented at random in different quadrants on the screen and after the participant clicks on those words, a face image appears on the same quadrant (happy face for self-relevant information/ sad, neutral or happy face for other-information). All of these trials belongs to the same block, and I have in total 240 trials.
I have the following inquiry though. Since sometimes participant's personal information might coincide with the control words (e.g., if input variable is Dave and I have Dave as a control word), I would like to use another variable list with different control words (e.g., Oscar) as cavnas text. So, for that purpose, I have created another variable (called alterantive_word_stimuli ) with the input variables (the responses given by the participants) and other control words. I have also created two other variables, one (called Responses) only with the input variables (responses given by participants) and another variable (called words_var ) only with the control words (the ones used originally). With this variables in mind I added an inline script in the beginning of the sequence (before fixation dot, word presentation, touch response and image presentation). I am not an expert in Python, but I have tried many if functions and none of them worked (Open Sesame did not send any error message, it just keep showing the original text variable (called word_stimuli). I have tried codes such as: if var.words_var == var.Responses: var.word_stimuli = var.alternative_word_stimuli.
I am attaching images of the inline script, and of the structure of the block with their respective variables.
I would highly appreciate if someone in this forum could provide me with some insight on how to proceed with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Anton

Hi again, I have followed Eduard's suggestions and everything is running well. The only aspect I might need some help wiht is that when running the task , in all trial, after pressing the keyboard response there's an approximately 3 second delay …

Hi Sebastiaan! Thank you very much for your help!! The any_match() function is working so far! I've tested this by adding an if function and ask to print me TRUE or FALSE if the condition is satisfied ( I can see it on the debug window) . However, …

Hi Sebastiaan, Thank you very much for your help! It's highly appreciated. Indeed what I want to do is what you have addressed in the beggining of your response (check the loop table for whether any of the values under Responses matches any of the …
