Participant
Thank you so much, Jeremy!
I have one more question for you. It’s about group selection. I know PCIbex is intended to automatically split participants by group, but it doesn’t seem to be doing so for our experiment. Critically, participants in one group receive different instructions. The CSV file looks like this:
ItemNumber,Sentence,compQ,corrAnsw,itemType,Group
1,"Instructions1",NA,NA,instructions,A
1,"Instructions2",NA,NA,instructions,B
0,"test sentence 1",1,item,A
1,"test sentence 2",0,item,A
In the actual instructions block, the critical manipulation is here:
Template(PennController.GetTable("fulldesign.csv")
.filter( variable => variable.itemType == "instructions" ),
variable =>
newTrial("direcitons",
newText("instruc",variable.Sentence)
.bold()
.print()
)
)
But it always loads the same sentence on refreshing. Is this intended behavior?
