Hi there, I have a very simple problem I think but I can’t seem to figure it out… I have a practice loop of 10 trials (trial loop) where I count the correct answers (e.g. name: pracLoop, loopType: sequential, is trials: ticked, csv file used to load conditions). I have an outer loop surrounding th…

Just replying to myself; i was being silly and forgot that I reset the loop counter in an earlier routine. Anyways, just in case anyone is confused, in Python, you can break the loop by yourloopname.finished = True, in JS, you just use trials.finished = true, for any type of loop. It was confusing …

I want a single cycle of 12 trials at first. However, if the participant has equal to or more than 8 correct responses, he should be able to end the loop and if not, he should enter the practice loop again. The practice loop should run for a maximum of 3 times.

nReps = 3 If you call “practice_rounds” “trials” then you’ll be able to use Auto translate Python code which will be easier to debug.

in my experiment, i am defining a variable as rept in begin experiment section. then updating this variable after one block but this update value is not goinf in nResp space… i have mentioned “rept” variable here without $ nResp = rept in outer loop… updating of rept variable in innere loop… s…

I’m pretty sure you can’t edit nReps once the loop has started. You can only end it early (using trials.finished=true; in JS)

use of any variable for nResp would not work? any suggestion (relevant question) from forum would be really helpful. Tried suggestion from this thread… i think they have used a variable for nResp [image] Conditional loop depending on percentage of correct responses Builder …

may be i am wrong here but it seems this person is using similar concept in the given link I solved my problem using the following: Inserting a check routine with a code component: Begin Experiment: score=0 Begin Routine: if score/training_loop.nTotal > 0.90: repeat_training_loop.finished = …

That code should work except that for online use you need to refer to the loop as trials, I.e. trials.finished=true; as per one of my previous posts

this code is not working offline for me… trials.finished=true; is this code for repeat loop? suppose is condition got fulfilled that accuracy less than 80% then inner loop would repeat. is this correct? and trials.finished=false; for getting out off outer loop what is “trials” here name of lo…

Hi Surabhi, I’m not sure why your experiment doesn’t run, but I think there’s two things, 1) the code to break out of a loop offline and online aren’t the same, 2) you shouldn’t need to set conditions or parameters for the outer loop. I’m confident you should be able to get this loop to work for y…

You can use a variable for nReps but changing it once the loop has started has no effect.
