OS (Win10):
PsychoPy version (2022.2.5):
Standard Standalone? (y)
What are you trying to achieve?:
Subjects are shown 15 images with a brief mask after each image. There is then a filler task using an image. After that, subjects are presented with variants of the 15 presented images randomly intermixed with 15 new images. They must determine if the image is old (previously presented) or new.
What did you try to make it work?:
I counterbalanced all stimuli lists with the variable lists for the presentation phase coming from an excel sheet with the possible presentation lists as the variables and the values being images pulled from a folder. There are 15 values and the presentation block and mask are contained in a loop that runs 15 times. The image in the presentation block is set to show the current image as in the picture below.
Prior in the build is the code
current_p1 = 0 and in the end block code for the presentation block is current_p1 +=1.After the loop with presentation and masks block is the filler task.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
The error code I get:

Now here is the weird part:
Every bit of discourse I could find on “IndexError: list index out of range” seems to indicate this error occurs when the variable is first displayed. For me, what happens is I get through the 15 presentation images and only then does PsychoPy crash. I separately tried going from 15 to 14 loops and adding a 16th value to make sure the problem isn’t PsychoPy trying to load one more value than there is. Neither of these attempts worked. What is more, the filler task is next. The problem does not appear to be the filler task itself as it worked fine when I put it before the presentation phase as a test and there is no code in the presentation phase that interacts with anything in the filler block.
Thanks for taking the time to read. I would really appreciate any tips or help anyone can offer.
