Speeded acceptability judgement task

[August]

Hi Jeremy:

May I ask how to code a speeded acceptability judgement task in which participants are presented with a sentence word by word on the screen with a certain speed (that we can control)? Ideally when a word shows up, the preceding word(s) can disappear from the screen.

Thanks a lot!

Best,
August

Hi August,

This is what the DashedSentence Ibex controller was written for. You can integrate it into a PennController trial using the Controller element.

Here’s a basic example:

newTrial(
    newController("DashedSentence", {
        s: "This is an example sentence",
        mode: "speeded acceptability",
        display: "in place",
        wordTime: 500
    })
    .print()
    .wait()
)

Let me know if you have questions

Best,
Jeremy
