<Repeat> Sections

[Cody DeHaan]

Hello! I'm working on implementing an IAT in ScriptingRT. The first thing that's eluding me a bit is the <repeat> sections. It makes sense to me how to include a <Feedback> within <repeat> in order to give feedback per trial. However, the manual currently has a section in strikethrough about having stimuli in <repeat>, which would obviously be tremendously useful for putting the categories in the upper left and upper right corners of the screen as in an IAT.

However, it seems that when I do this as per the example in the manual, that the stimuli I put in get repeated both before each trial/<Frame>, and also before Feedback (the latter of which is obviously unwanted)—is that the current state of <repeat>, or might I be doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Cody,

great to hear you work on an iat!

<repeat> was broken when we introduced feedback, and has not been fixed
yet. I suggest you use repeat only to implement feedback.

another thing: the original iat protocol demands that a wrong answer is
followed by a feedback, and that the participant then still has to give
the correct answer. there is no way to do that in scriptingrt without
extensive programming, so I guess you have to do without that, and copy
paste the labels into each item

however, you can make your life easier by changing items and labels
through code - see

cheers,
