HELP! Multiple Criterion Routines

Coding
1

Hello all!

What I am trying to accomplish

  • I have multiple routines (7 in total) with criterions to be met before moving onto the next criterion
  • The routines will be recorded so I can see how many trials it takes to reach criterion

What is happening/my issue

  • The history counter is still going so the first routine so when they meet criterion for the first routine, when doing the second routine, they get 1 correct and then they move on. I imagine this is because the routine did not rest some kind of accuracy history.
  • I am not able to see how many trials they took in order to reach criterion.

Here is the overall data for the routines (same for each routine)
BEGIN EXPERIMENT

total_trials = 0

avg_acc = 1

acc_hist = []

END ROUTINE

total_trials = total_trials + 1

acc_hist.append(keyResponse.corr)

if(len(acc_hist) >= 12):
    acc_hist.pop(0)

avg_acc = sum(acc_hist) / len(acc_hist)

if(avg_acc >= 0.9 and total_trials >= 12):
    AB.finished = True

FEEDBACK
BEGIN EXPERIMENT

soundfile = ['correctDING.wav','incorrectBUZZER.wav']
msg = 'whoops!'

BEGIN ROUTINE

if not keyResponse.keys :
    msg="Failed to respond" 

elif keyResponse.corr:#stored on last run routine
    sound = soundfile[0]
    msg="Correct!" 

else:
    sound = soundfile[1]
    msg="Incorrect"

Let me know what you all think and what I can do to change this for my dissertation.

Were you ever able to figure this out? I’m currently trying to do something very similar.

Are you doing anything to reset the counter?

You can save the number of trials by adding the following after to AB.finished = True (also indented)

thisExp.addData('TrialsToCriterion',total_trials)
