Hello,

I am under the impression that you cannot use an IF statement during block feedback. Is this correct?

I would like to participants a summary statement of their performance, outside of the standard ACC/RT seen in the available feedback examples, which would require evaluating performance on specific trials and displaying text conditionally. For example, if accuracy of specific trials is low, I would like to display that their response is 'slow', if accuracy is high, I would like to display 'fast'. Is something like this possible during feedback?

Related, is it possible to set a variable as text?

Thanks

Hi,

Currently it is not possible to do that with the "feedback" block, and it is not possible to set a variable as text.

It would not at all be difficult to do using a "trick".

You could have a block that comes immediately after your block and create something like a FeedbackTask in which, using if...fi blocks, you create specific feedback. That is not too difficult to do. If you need help with that, do not hesitate to write me via psytoolkit@gmx.com

It is something people rarely ask for, but I can see that is of interest in unique situations. I will at some point write a lesson to explain this.

Best,

Gijsbert Stoet
