Noob question: write correct response following mouse press in the correct image

Hi! I have a screen with several images and only one correct. Participants click on one, and the next stimulus is shown. For each of these screens, I would like to record whether participants gave the correct or incorrect answer.

I have in begin experiment

response_joy.text = “joy”
response_anger.text = “anger”
response_sadness.text = “sadness”
response_fear.text = “fear”
response_disgust.text = “disgust”
response_surprise.text = “surprise”

and somewhere in the forums I found the following code which I thought I could adapt here but I am not being able to make it work

if words in existWords:
memoryCorrect = 1
else:
memoryCorrect = 0
thisExp.addData (“memoryCorrect”, memoryCorrect)

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Not enough information with just that, I’m afraid. What is existWords? Where is it defined? When i the code at the end executed? Is it every frame, end of routine, or somewhere else?

Also please put your code in a preformatted text block so we can see the indentation levels. You can use the “</>” button in the composition window. I believe what you shared is supposed to look like this:

if words in existWords:
    memoryCorrect = 1
else:
    memoryCorrect = 0
thisExp.addData (“memoryCorrect”, memoryCorrect)

It is, yes. Sorry but I am new at coding.

The user who created that code had in begin experiment a list of words that made up existWords. I don’t have a list of words, what I have there is:

response_alegria.text = "alegria"
response_raiva.text = "raiva"
response_tristeza.text = "tristeza"
response_medo.text = "medo"
response_nojo.text = "nojo"
response_surpresa.text = "surpresa"

The code he created run at each frame.

I just need some code that would allow me to write my output whether the participant clicked on the correct image or one of the incorrect ones.

I believe my entire code for this is the following:

# Initialize components for Routine "emocoes_video_response"

I see. What you’re trying to do is actually going to be a bit more complicated than that. I think this thread describes what you’re going to need to do to start with:
