Thank you Jeremy! I tried the code below. I assume that although “global” in name, it still needs to be embedded within the “local” environment of newTrial? Is that correct? (I was thinking maybe a “global” variable should stand on its own, on a par with newTrial).

Template("demo.csv", row =>
    newTrial("experimental-trial",
    newController("DashedSentence",{s: row.Sentence})
        .cssContainer({"margin-top":"2em", "margin-bottom":"2em"})
        .print()
        .center()
        .log()      
        .wait()
        .remove()
    ,
    newText("CompQuestion", row.Question)
        .center()
        .print()
    ,
    newVar("isCorrect").global()
    ,
    newScale("answer",...[row.Answer1,row.Answer2].sort(v=>0.5-Math.random()))
        .labelsPosition("right")
        .center()
        .log()
        .print()
        .wait()
        .test.selected( row.Answer1 )
        .success( getVar("isCorrect").set(true) )  
        .failure( getVar("isCorrect").set(false) )
        .log("isCorrect", getVar("isCorrect"))
        )
    )

Thank you Jeremy! The code for answer choice randomization works! However, I have one more question:

Do we need to specify in the csv file which answer is the correct one? We want to know if the participant has answered correctly or not and have the program assign a value to the participants’ responses (e.g., 1 as “hit”, 0 as “miss”). In the old Ibex, I only need to make the correct answer stay on the left position with the code as["Correct answer", "Wrong answer"], hasCorrect: true, randomOrder: true. How does that work in PC Ibex?

Thank you!

I see! This really helps! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much Jeremy! If I understand correctly, in PCIbex, I don’t need to specify the size of the word or phrase by including them in “”. So in your code with “DashedSentence” command, each word in “Today is a very nice day!” will be presented based on space, correct? Also, by adding a new controller, the two sentences can be presented on the same page now, yes? If so, then how do I, say, present the first sentence in its entirety? So, basically, a participant sees the whole chunk “Today is a very nice day!”, followed on the second line by “So”,”I”,”went” … in a word-by-word fashion?
