Randomly selecting one comprehension question

[marisolmuru]

Hello!

I’m currently designing a SPR task with a yes-no comprehension question. I’m using the template option and my sentences are divided into lists. But I also need to randomize the type of question that appears after the sentence. Therefore, I added four columns in my template with the four types of questions and I need to somehow make my script randomly choose only one of those as a text element in each trial. I’ve tried several things, but have not been able to make it work.

Here is the demonstration link: https://farm.pcibex.net/r/MlmUPZ/

Any help would be more than welcome.

Hello Marisol,

Here is a suggestion:

var n_question = 1;
Template("myTable.csv", row =>
  newTrial("experimento",
    newText("*").center().css("font.size", "x-large").print()
    ,
    newKey(" ").wait().log("all").disable()
    ,
    getText("*").remove()
    ,
    newController("DashedSentence", {s : row.Oracion}).center().print().wait().remove()
    ,
    n_question = 1+Math.floor(Math.random()*4)
    ,
    newText("q", row['Q'+n_question])
      .center()
      .print()
    ,
    newKey("pressOnArrow", "ArrowLeft", "ArrowRight").log().wait()
  )
  .log("n_question", n_question)
  .log("question", row['Q'+n_question])
)
