DashedAcceptabilityJudgment

[jgreen88]

Hello,

Can you please help me know how to use the DashedAcceptabilityJudgment controller from IbexFarm? I’ve tried the following:

Template( "myTable.csv" ,
    // Row will iteratively point to every row in myTable.csv
    row => newTrial("experiment",
  newController("DashedAcceptabilityJudgment", {
        s: row.Sentence, 
        q: "How acceptable was that sentence?", 
        as: ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7"], 
        presentAsScale: true, 
        autoFirstChar: true,
        leftComment: "totally unacceptable", 
        rightComment: "totally acceptable", 
        mode: "self-paced reading"
        })
    .print()
    .log()
    .wait()
    .remove()
)
);

When I do this, nothing shows up. If I used the “DashedSentence” controller instead, I get the sentence showing up in a self-paced reading format like expected (but no question). If I use the “Question” controller, I get the acceptability judgment question showing up like it should (but no self-paced reading sentence). It’s just when I try to use “DashedAcceptabilityJudgment” that it doesn’t work.

Hello,

There seems to be a bug with how PennController integrates the VBox controller, on which the DashedAcceptabilityJudgment controller relies. I’ll have to fix that for the next release of PennController. In the meantime, one solution would be to use the DashedSentence controller first and then directly code the judgment part in PennController:

Template( "myTable.csv" ,
    // Row will iteratively point to every row in myTable.csv
  row => newTrial("experiment",
    newController("DashedSentence", {s: row.Sentence})
        .print()
        .log()
        .wait()
        .remove()
    ,
    newText("How acceptable was that sentence?").print()
    ,
    newScale(7)
        .before( newText("totally unacceptable ") )
        .after( newText(" totally acceptable ") )
        .button()
        .keys()
        .print()
        .log()
        .wait()
  )
)

Fiddle with the aesthetics if the scale’s rendering is not to your liking

Let me know if you have questions
