I am trying to create a trial where two images appear on the screen and the participant can select one or the other but I would like both to remain on the screen, just with the selected option highlighted or something like that. I can’t figure out how to get this to work and am also struggling to set up the excel column for this. Through excel I understand how to get the images to appear in psychopy but not how to accomplish the selection of one vs the other along with a visual indication of the selected one. Let me know if anyone has any advice on how to do this. Thank you.

Thank you for this helpful link. I am attempting to show two images on the screen at once and I have my excel set up to show three columns, one for the first image, one for the second, and the third is corrAns. In builder, how do I enter the correct image reference to be able to show both? As of now, it looks like I can only reference column 1 through $image_1 for example but can’t reference the second column here too. I know this is a basic question but I would greatly appreciate clarification on this. I’ve looked through the discourse threads and online and see a lot of wonderful higher level questions but unfortunately I can’t seem to resolve this low level problem. Thank you.
You need to create two Image stimulus components. Put $image_1 in the image field for one, and $image_2 in the other. They need different position values so that they can both be seen.
Thank you for your reply. I have two image stimulus components in and are set to $image_1 and $image_2 from my excel file (which I’ve attached) with differing XY positions. No image appears on the screen when I run the trial and the error I get is also attached. I tried changing different elements of the component settings without success.
