Creating pop-up thought probes

You can insert a routine that only executes on some trials, e.g:

Random selection of stimuli without repeating in different blocks

Hi David, Welcome along… Well, below is a quick code snippet to show you how a tiny bit of Python can go a long way… You don’t need to break your trials into blocks. The easiest arrangement to have here is a single loop surrounding your trial routine so that it will run all 96 trials in random order. What you can then have is a pause routine that interrupts that single loop, but only on trials 32 and 64. i.e. insert a new routine. Just put a text stimulus on it saying something like “Take …

In that example, the condition is based on the trial number, but you could easily change the condition to be based on time elapsed in the experiment I guess.
