Adding a task between blocks

Builder
1

Hello everyone!

I created an experiment in which I want participants to learn symbol-sound pairs. I currently have 2 blocks in which different pairs are presented. Order of the blocks is counterbalanced between participants. After each block I inserted 30s pause. (pic attached).

What I want to do is to test participants on the learned pairs at the end of each block. I want to present one of sound and ask them to type the name of the previously seen symbol (“Free recall” is the name of the routine in the picture).

I believe I should have a code component to tell the program that I want to repeat the “Free recall” routine at the end of each block.

Can anyone help me to understand how to achieve that?

Based on your flow diagram Free Recall will be repeated after each block so I’m not sure of where you are getting stuck

Hi @wakecarter

Sorry, my wifi has been down and my post was not fully uploaded.

The recall test will be different for each block (e.g. Block 1 has its own recall - Block 2 has another recall with different pairs). I’ve basically tried to counterbalance the order again (pic attached), but I got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
