Found that it is a video memory issue http://image.prntscr.com/image/633a3a66207b436d9b0194216ce277f4.png
Running from the PsychoPy GUI.
I’m using a “drop-out” procedure - people study a list of 60 word pairs, then are continuously tested with a cued-recall procedure. They see one of the words and have to type in the second word. The screen displays the input text as it is being typed. If the answer is wrong, the trial is repeated at the end of the cycle. This continues until all pairs have been recalled correctly. Then the whole procedure repeats a number of times (6 to 10), until a criterion accuracy is reached. Psychopy crashes after about 600-800 trials (~60 min).
The way that is set up is: http://prntscr.com/essypd
The inner loop (cuedRestudyProc) displays trials. It loads a condition file with the 60 pairs. It is set to repeat for a large number (1000 times). A code block keeps track of whether a word was recalled correctly, and then skips that trial from the condition list from the next repeat. When all pairs are recalled, the loop is manually broken with a code piece.
The outer loop repeats the whole procedure until a specified criterion.
Not sure how to fix anything. I found something online about using textbox rather than textstim, but I’ll have to rewrite everything in the coder (I can use the coder without a problem, but it will take a lot of rewriting).
