Hi, I’m having trouble with one aspect of my experiment. Participants are shown a stimulus and they give their answer, which is recorded. Then after they complete all the tests I want them to receive feedback on all their answers. I couldn’t figure out how to provide feedback if the tests were in the loop so in the end I’ve put each test and corresponding feedback as a separate routine. It all worked fine with substitute words, but once I put in actual words and stimuli it only gives incorrect feedback…
My test routine looks like this:
with the code component like this:
Begin Experiment:
import string
allLetters = list(string.ascii_lowercase)
Begin Routine:
textFill = ''
Each Frame:
keys = event.getKeys()
if 'escape' in keys:
core.quit()
else:
if keys:
if keys[0] == 'space':
textFill += ' '
elif keys[0] == 'backspace':
textFill = textFill[:-1]
elif keys[0] in allLetters:
textFill+=keys[0]
showresponse1.setText(textFill)
End Routine:
thisExp.addData("textResponse", showresponse1.text)
if showresponse1.text.lower() == answercorrect1.text.lower():
correctResp = 1
else:
correctResp = 0
My feedback routine looks like this:
with the code component like this:
Begin Experiment:
msg=''
Begin Routine:
if showresponse1.text.lower() == correctanswer1.text.lower():
msg="Correct!"
else:
msg="Incorrect!"
Basically what I need is for my feedback routine to be able to tell whether the showresponse from the test routine is the same as the correctanswer component. Like I said it seemed to work fine with substitute words, but when I put in actual stimuli it stopped.
I’d appreciate any help!
