How can I create a visual search experiment in psychopy?

Hi,

I am trying to create a simple visual search experiment but I am new to psychopy, and I don`t understand how I can get the psychopy to change the number of items (be that a triangle or text) on the window for each trial, and in random order. Perhaps this question is too broad but I hope someone can give me some advice to help me get started.

Best,
Christian

Something a bit like this?

Or this?

Also might be helpful as an example of T and L search demos / visual-search · GitLab

Hello, How do I gain access to the second experiment? The builder version so that I can understand how it was built

Here it is (I haven’t opened it to check what updates it might need)
visual_search.psyexp (68.5 KB)

Is the folder still available? With the stimuli, excell files and everything?

If you let me know your Pavlovia username I can add you to the project so you can fork it.

The task looks like this:

I also have letter-search [PsychoPy] which looks like this

and is public. See my online demos (it’s called Letter Search)

My university doesnt have their domain approved by pavlovia, so I dont have an account, is there other way?

What domain is that?

Nevermind, We have two domains and of them works, the username is catbotelho

I’ve added you as a reporter. See if you can fork the project.

It worked, thank you!

Hi! Sorry to bother you once again. My supervisor asked if you had any paper published using this task or if you have any document with the task description, what measures to extract and the reason behind the number of trials. She asked for this information because she was wondering if we could shorten the task without compromising the underlying cognitive constructs.
Thank you!

It was written for an undergraduate project in 2020-21.

The supervisor was Michael Pilling.

I’m not sure whether the design came from the student or Michael, but I’m sure you can cut the number of trials a bit. There are currently 20 of each of 16 types I think.
