Hello!!
I am new to psytoolkit.
i am designing an experiment where
i need trials in a random order but with some constraints
there are two type of trials
for example in set of 48 trials
typeA = 12 trials typeB = 36 trials
in typeA trials there are four type of conditions, typeA1 typeA2 typeA3 typeA4
and each has three which makes total 12 trials: typeA11
typeA12
typeA13
typeA21
typeA22
typeA23
typeA31
typeA32
typeA33
typeA41
typeA42
typeA43
i need these 12 trials come randomly with 36 trials as, experiment never start with typeA and end with typeA type trials. no typeA trials repetition. and also no repetition of typeA11, type21, type31, type41 and in similar way typeA12, typeA22, typeA32, type34..
Is this possible with this program?
is there any possibility where i can make a trial sequence in advance. is there possibility to define a array or list variable?
Thanks in advance

Hi there, I am not sure I completely understand your plans, but there is a way to prepare your trials by creating a table in a txt-document, which you can upload and use "include" (see www.psytoolkit.org/doc2.6.1/syntax.html). This is advanced use, consequently I recommend to first make a small table with neccessary information including which type of trial it is and try your experiment first. This will help you determine which information you need in your table. In a block you can then define your task under tasklist as fixed, which indicates to follow the order of the table provided.
