Interruption tasks
In this example the researcher wants to present the trial routine on every iteration of trials but occasionally interrupt it, presenting the interruption task and then returning to the same trial.
My recommendation to achieve this is a repeats loop with two repeats and no parameters. Whether it has “is trials” ticked or not will depend on whether you want to save pre and post interruption results on different rows.
In the trial routine add the following code:
Begin Routine
skipInterrupt = True
Each Frame
if trials.thisN in [2, 3, 6] and repeats.thisN == 0: # To interrupt trials 3, 4, and 7
if t > 3: # To interrupt after 3 seconds
continueRoutine = False
skipInterrupt = False
End Routine
if skipInterrupt:
repeats.finished = True
Finally add skipInterrupt to the skip if field of the interruption routine settings.
