What are you trying to achieve?:

Hello everybody!

I’m new to PsychoPy. I am doing an experiment in which the tasks consist of two parts. The first part of the task is a picture and a question. The answer is given using the arrows. The second part of the task is the Remote Association Test, that is, three words. The answer is also given using the arrows on the keyboard. I need one picture to correspond to each set of three words.

What did you try to make it work?:
I created an Excel file in which I set all the conditions - I have a column with RAT tasks, the path to the picture and the correct answers for the picture and for RAT.

This is what my cycle looks like in PsychoPy. Fix is a fixing cross, main_image is a picture task, main_RAR is a text task, confidence is an assessment of confidence in the answer.

I entered $RATstimul into the text component of the RAT task, and $ImageFile into the image component

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.

I have two problems.:

  1. Now, when I start, the first tasks are not visible to me - images and text tasks, then they appear, but they are repeated several times. moreover, the picture is not repeated, and the text task is repeated. I don’t understand why this is happening. Please help me solve this problem.

  2. Now I’m running an experiment and I have both the RAT text task and the picture task displayed in randomized order. I need the text task to be linked to the picture task. That is, so that the text task corresponds to a specific task with a picture. Please tell me how to do this.
