OS (e.g. Win10): PsychoPy version (e.g. 2024.2.4 Py 3.8): 2024 version Standard Standalone Installation? (y/n) If not then what?:
**Do you want it to also run online? (y/n)**yes What are you trying to achieve?: I am trying to create a task where an experiment/routine will consist of target objects and distractor objects. Each display will have one type images and a differnt kind of image. There will be between 8 and 11 target items (and 8-11 distractors) in each display. The displays of images will be organized into 30 sets of displays. Each display in a set will have one type of target item but different distractors. Before each trial, an image of the target item will be shown in the middle of the screen for 2 seconds. Once the test display appears, a number between 8-11 will be shown in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and participants will have to press yes/no to see if they chose well/correctly
What did you try to make it work?: I created an experiment where I created a loop and inside the loop there is an excel document that has 4 conditions and 1 parameter, and there is 1 image in the routine that is in the loop. howeve, whenever i try to run the experiment, only the image that is in the routine shows and loops 4 times but no other image loops or appears.
Link to the most relevant existing thread you have found: i donât have a link
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?: the images are not appearing, only one that is selected in the routine is appearing 4 times as if it is looping
Include pasted full error message if possible. âThat didnât workâ is not enough information.
You say you only have one image component. For this number of items I would recommend using a list of images created in a code component. Are you already trying to do this?
I do not understand, I am so sorry this is my first time creating an experiment in general. But how do I do this?
I have tried adding different images in the routine that is in the loop, but whenever I run the experiment, they appear in that order and 4 times (which I am assuming is because the component in the exccel thats in the loop has 4 components and 1 parameter) and they are not random at all
Hi, I hope you are well. So this is how my experiment has been designed thus far:
I created a folder
Inside the folder there is a folder that has 4 images
There is an excel that has the 4 components and 1 parameter
The experiment
There is a welcome routine that has a welcome message
Instruction routine that has instructions
There is a loop
Inside the loop there is the trial routine which has the image (this image is the one that appears 4 times when i run the experiment)
From one video that i watched, it was said that if i want the experiment to read the data on the excel, i should add the $ - dollar sign in the attachment name (right where i attached the picture that appears) and save it using the name of the parameter on the excel; but whenever i do that, the experiment will read all the information until the instruction and it will end
Ii. the loop has the excel that has the 4 conditions and 1 parameter
- this is the excel that is in the attched in the loop, the names in the condition and in the folder that is in for the experiment are saved exactly the same (e.g. ladder.png, etc)
Just for clarification of names, you have an Excel file that has four conditions and one column. Your experiment has a certain flow of routines. In your case, the flow is WelcomeScreen, Instruction, Instruction_2, trial, GoodByeScreen. Each routine has one or serveral components, such as text, keyboard aso. These components have parameter or arguments, text size, allowed keys aso.
What is the error message? Does the experiment run till Instruction or does it run till Instruction_2?
Do you mind posting how you set up the component that displays the images?
Also, the experiment doesnât give any error message. But it doesnâ't randomize all the 4 images that are in the image folder. it only plays/appears (4 times) the 1 image that is the component in the trial.
And what I want is that the different images appear at random(these images are in the folder of the experiment, and are named in the excel document as the conditions).
Hi, I have changed it and saved it as seen in the attached screenshot below,but whenever I run it ,it crashes, it doesnât show any image at all. So it just shows from welcomeScreen, instruction, instruction 2 and then ends the experiment
Hi, this is what it says on the psychopy runner stdout:
raise IOError(msg % (tex, os.path.abspath(tex)))
OSError: Couldnât find image images/ladder.png; check path? (tried: C:\Users\tsham\Desktop\Psychopy Experiments\Try again w diff images\images\ladder.png)
