Self-paced reading task restart loop button

[aml78]

Hi all,

I am new at Psychopy, and am producing a self-paced reading task with phrases of a sentence on different screens, presented sequentially and in separation (one-by-one) through a ‘space’ button press. I have already finished my code for that with success, by the help of previous posts. However, I would like to add an option for my participants throughout the sentence trials that whenever they have missed the previous phrases/words, they can restart the same trial and rerun the original trial again using a button press. I am wondering if there is any code component available to restart the same loop within a trial upon button press?

Thanks a lot!

Instead just give it some unfeasibly large nReps value (like 100), so that the trial can be repeated up to that many times. Insert a code component from the “custom” component panel. In the “End routine” tab of that component, put something like the code below. The idea is to terminate the inner loop if you simp…
