![]() ![]() You will need a routine with a code component to create your trialList then a routine with a loop to iterate through that trial list: This exercise will make a list of trials entirely through code, without the need to import an external conditions file. So for the final touch update newTrials to newTrials Exercise (15-20 mins) ¶ Remember each trial is a dictionary we need to access the value corresponding to the key ‘Word’. If you ran that now you might be surprised to see a full dictionary printed out on each trial. In place, you can use a code component to count the iterations, in the ‘Begin Experiment’ tab type trialCount = 0 then in the ‘End Routine’ tab type trialCount +=1 then use ‘trialCount’ in place of ‘trials.thisN’. Online trials.thisN might not smoothly translate (but it should do very soon). Or we could access a single trial dictionary using ialList where n is the index. ![]() In fact, we can access that list directly using ialList where trials is the name of our loop. Remember that the Trial Handler loads in a conditions file as a list of dictionaries. We could load these variables into our experiment in several ways. Here our column “Word” is the word that will be presented and the column “Fixed” indicates if we want that word to be in a fixed location. First, set up your conditions file to be something like this (but with more words). In this example, we are going to make sure every 5th word is presented in a fixed order, with the other words presented randomly. You want to randomly pick a subset of the to-be-presented words in some practice trials.Īnd many more! We will practice with the first case example. 5th, 10th, 15th) trial is fixed, but with the interleaving trials selected randomly. You want some stimuli to be presented at fixed trials (e.g. Once we know how to load our stimuli, we can use our python skills to manipulate the order of words from within our experiment itself. Make a conditions file with the header ‘Word’ and a list of words to presentĪdd a routine to your experiment and call it ‘loading’.Īdd a code component to this routine and at under Begin Routine use print(Word) Loops don’t just have to be used to present trials/repeat stimuli, they can also be used to load in your conditions file, and manipulate it how you want: ![]() Using loops for loading stimuli/conditions ¶ But what if we want more “custom”, “on-the-fly” randomization. We have already seen that by default builder allows you to present trials in one of three orders, including:įrom this we know that if we want a pre-specified order, the best way to do this is to use the ‘sequential’ option and specify that order in our conditions file. Randomizing with constraints ¶ Making custom randomized orders ¶ ![]()
