OS (e.g. Win10): MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): Version 2024.2.0
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: Standalone
What are you trying to achieve?:
Hello all! This is my first post in the forum and I am still very new to Psychopy, so please let me know if you need any clarification. I am attempting to make an associative memory task (encoding phase, item retrieval phase, word pair retrieval phase) where the participant is given a random assortment of 26 pairs from a predetermined list of 30 pairs during the encoding phase. I need Psychopy to then remember what words were not shown from the list of 30. The participant then needs to be given those 8 not remembered words along with 8 of the words that were shown in encoding. Lastly I need the code to pull 8 original pairs and 8 rearranged pairs from the pairs that were encoded, but the 1st and last indexed pair cant be included in the pair retrieval test.
In essence I need help with learning how to make a word list that can then be divided into categories (ie. intact pair/rearranged pair) for the pair retrieval, how to toss the first and last indexed trial from encoding so it is not tested in the pair retrieval phase, and how to get Psychopy to remember what words it did not show in encoding. I know this is a lot so I would appreciate even just a nudge on where to look in builder/how to begin a basic custom code element for these purposes!
What did you try to make it work?:
I have the basic skeleton set up in builder and got Psychopy to pull the word list of 30 in the encoding phase, as well as change the list depending on what session is chosen. It is attached below.
