Hi All, 
I've had a syntax error for a while now and I've checked everything but I cannot get past it:
"Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 14 column 1 (char 507)".
JSON validator says the code's ok, claude.ai has no idea what it is. I've also checked my responses and stimuli and they are fine which makes sense because they have been saved. I'm trying to preview a particular part of my study so I'm presuming the issue is in my trial template because line 14 of the procedure is commented out. Trial template code is provided below with line number (including '.') to the left for reference:

1. {
2.    "Opening": {
3.        "type": "basic",
4.        "stimuli": [
5.           [
6.                "Image",
7.                "Welcome"
8.            ]
9.        ]
10.    },
11.    "Einverständniserklärung": {
12.        "type": "basic",
13.        "stimuli": [
14.            "Einverständniserklärung"
15.        ]
16.    },    // comma here as there is more code after this section


There were different stimuli in line 14 before I placed the code in a JSON validator and still, however, the error is line 14. 
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello!
I'm trying to limit the number of audio replays for participants. I want them to be able to replay the audio only once. How can I implement this? I looked through the Study Grammar but unfortunately wasn’t able to find anything.
Thank you for your help!

Hello! Sorry if this is a very dull question, but I'm trying to present text stimuli as a vertical list as in: 
Item1
Item2
Item3
Participants are told to memorize the three items before continuing. However, I keep getting the following, horizontal display instead: 
Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
Here's my code: 
 "type": "text",
  "size": "2rem",
  "alignment": "center",
  "content": "Item 1\n Item 2 \n Item 3"
I've done a pretty big dive in the grammar as well as on google trouble shooting JSON, and I've tried various things, but with no luck.
This is mostly because it looks much better in presentation (and I do think it's more approachable). If there's no way to get the list vertical rather than horizontal, it isn't the end of the world, but I thought I'd better ask. Again- apologies if this is very obvious and thank you for your help!

Is there a way to implement custom validation to only accept emails from specific domains (e.g., @company.com) during the survey? I'm using Qualtrics and need to restrict submissions to internal employees only. I've explored the built-in validation options but haven't found a direct way to achieve this. Any advice or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently building an experiment in FindingFive that combines aspects of the Stroop and Flanker tasks. In this setup, I need to display two stimuli side by side—one on the left and one on the right. It’s crucial that these stimuli stay fixed in their positions throughout the experiment to avoid any visual shifts that might affect participants’ attention or reaction times.

I’ve already tried using the "location" and "fixed_location" options, and the positioning looks almost right. However, I’m still seeing a slight “jumping” or shifting of the text stimuli between trials, which is a problem for the design.

Does anyone know how to make sure the stimuli remain completely stable in their assigned left/right positions across all trials?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance!

Best,
Vivienne

Here is my code from my trial template so far: 

{
  "match":{
  "type":"basic",
  "stimuli":[
    {"which": ["BLAU_black", "GRÜN_blau_match"], "location": [4, 6]},
    {"which": ["BLAU_black", "ROT_blau_match"], "location": [4, 6],
    "fixed_location": true}],
  "stimulus_pattern":{"order":"fixed"},
  "responses":["response_matching"], "location":[8]
  },
 
  "mismatch":{
  "type":"basic",
  "stimuli": [
    {"which": ["BLAU_black", "GELB_lila_mismatch"], "location": [4, 6]},
    {"which": ["BLAU_black", "ROT_grün_mismatch"], "location": [4, 6],
    "fixed_location": true}],
  "stimulus_pattern":{"order":"fixed"},
  "responses":["response_matching"]
  }
 
}

Our study won't proceed with the audio but it works fine for the instruction. On the page that contains the audio, the screen freezes then goes blank. It was working a few weeks ago and nothing has changed from our end. Could you help us? Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have noticed recently that my FF experiment does not run properly on Google Chrome anymore. 
I have image stimuli and they simply do not appear on the screen, although I am still able to give responses and proceed with the experiment. The same problem has happened to me when running the experiment on Safari, but Chrome used to work perfectly until now. 
Do you know if this problem can be fixed?
Thank you for your help!

Hello,

I am working on a self-paced listening task and have a few questions regarding the process. I followed all the instructions given under tokenized audio, as it said that it can be used to create a self-paced listening task. However, when I try to preview the experiment, it doesn't actually play the sounds. There is a progression bar which does show that the next audio is being played but no sound actually comes out. This is weird because the audios do play in the stimuli window but not in the experiment. What could be the issue?

I've already added you ([email protected]) as collaborator to the study in question.
The study ran fine in the session I ran last week. 
This week, for 6 of 16 total participants, it looks like the study just stopped after the participants completed one block of demographic questions -- this is "part_15" in the block_sequence section. All blocks after that session seem to be missing for 6 of the participants.
Also, I believe -- though I'm not certain -- that this is an issue with the presentation of these blocks, as I had a student report that they never were asked to give their SONA ID, which is a question in one of the blocks that is missing.
I have never encountered anything like this, and as far as I know, no one has "touched" the study since it launched. Any idea as to what could cause the block_sequence to just "stop"?

In our current setup, the audio stimuli are set with barrier: true, so the choice response is only available after the audio finishes playing.

If I change the audio stimuli to barrier: false, the choice response becomes available as soon as the audio starts, but selecting a response causes the audio to stop.

Is there a way to set barrier: false so that participants can make their choice while allowing the audio to continue playing until the end?
