Conditionals in self=paced reading

[mariagold]

I was wondering, before I dive into designing an experiment in pcibex, whether it was possible to add conditional(s) to a self-paced reading design?

For example, after reading an item, one at a time – asking participants whether they wish to read the sentence again (and showing it again if they say ‘yes’, and moving forward if they say ‘no’).

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

The particular case you are describing is easy enough to implement:

newTrial(
    newController("DashedSentence", {s: "This is an example sentence"})
        .print()
        .log()
        .wait()
        .remove()
    ,
    newText("Do you want to read the sentence again?")
        .print()
    ,
    newButton("Yes")
        .after( newButton("No").callback(end()) )
        .print()
        .wait()
    ,
    clear()
    ,
    newController("DashedSentence", {s: "This is an example sentence"})
        .print()
        .log()
        .wait()
        .remove()
)

Note that this only gives the option to read the sentence again once. Giving the option to re-read it as many times as the participant wants would be a little more complicated

Thanks a lot!

I only want them to be able to read the sentence one additional time, so this should definitely work.
