I am using the latest version of Psychopy on Windows 10. I just want to know if it is possible to update labels at every repeat (every trial) of a task. There is the $ sign on the labels field of the slider, but no selection box to change it from “constant” to “set every repeat” as can be done for size or position. I tried to use a sheet column to update the labels, but the column name won’t be recognized by the label field.
If anyone would give me alternative solutions, I am implementing a Ishihara test with Psychopy and I would like to update five possible responses (numbers of the plates) on each trial. No problems setting up the components, including a slider for responses and the plate image, but I could not update the labels on every trial.
Of course I could create five text components and update each one, but couldn’t it be done directly with the labels?
Hello, thanks for your answer. I solved it “manually”, defining a text component for each position and leaving the text as variables on the stimuli file (xlsx). But I’ll look into this solution also!
Regards.
Yes sorry this is a known issue and the dev team are working on a fix for the next release. For now your manual solution is indeed what I would suggest.
My protocol, in the end, turn out great! It is a loop for the AUDIT scale, that has specific answers for almost each one of the ten questions in the scale. I used your tip for the pop up button! Thanks for the youtube videos and keep them coming!
Hello!
I’m interested in knowing how you solved the issue
I’m facing a similar one myself where i want the slider labels to change every repeat like in a conditions xslx but i have no clue whatsoever (cannot even find the setting where labels change every repeat) Could i please know how you did it ?
I am sorry to tell you that there is no miracle solution. By manual, I mean that I had to put a text component to every possible answer of my likert scale and, for each of these components, I had a variable in the excel file.
So, each one of these Audit components (1 to 5) is a variable text that I can “set to every repeat” and I manually aligned these to the Slider of the routine. It works great after everything is in place.
And the slider I just left with no labels. I would love to show you this, but as always, one of the recent updates from Psychopy changed how the software referenced/call/deal (idk) things and this particular experiment isn’t running anymore. I am sorry I cannot debug it right now to print screens. This routine composition screen should help, though!
