Maze: comprehension question only in some trials

[MandyLing]

Hi Jeremy,

I’m creating a Maze task and having trouble implementing comprehension questions. I want a question to appear only if the participant succeeded in the task, and only if there is really a comprehension question for that specific sentence (about half, listed in the CSV).
I managed to limit the question to only successful trials, but when I tried add the second condition, and limit it to only trials with a question, it skips the question-related sequence of events completely. That is, either conditions works independently, but not together.

Here is how i tried to do it:

newController("Maze", {s: row.sentence, a:row.distractor}) 
            .center()
            .print()
            .log()
            .wait()
            .remove()
            .test.passed()
            .failure(newText("!אופס").center().print().cssContainer({"font-size": "32px", "color": "red", "line-height": "150%"}),
                    newTimer("oops",1000).start().wait())
            .success(
            ( row.QuestYN =="Y" ? [
       newController("Question", {q: row.question, as: ["לא","כן"]})
            .center()
            .print()
            .log()
        ,
        newTimer("timeout_practice", 10000)
            .start()
            .log()
        ,
        newKey("answer_practice", "EI")
            .callback( getTimer("timeout_practice").stop() )
            .log("all")
        ,
        
        getTimer("timeout_practice")
            .wait()
        ,
        
        getController("Question")
            .remove()
        ,
        
        getKey("answer_practice")
         .test.pressed()
         .failure(newText("לאט מדי")
            .settings.center()
            .cssContainer({"font-size": "32px", "color": "red"}) 
            .print()
            .log()
            ,
            newTimer("afterSentence2", 1000)
                .start()
                .wait()
         )
        ]:[
         (newTimer("afterSentence2", 1000)
         .start()
         .wait()
         )
        ])

Any help would be very appreciated!

Hi Mandy,

Apparently the way I wrote the success and failure commands, they don’t accept arrays of commands; instead, they require a comma-separated list of commands. Just add ... before ( row.QuestYN =="Y" ? [ to tell the script to coerce the arrays into a comma-separated list, like this: ...( row.QuestYN =="Y" ? [

Thank you so much!
It works now.
