Duration / Feedback / Feedback Duration

[[email protected]]

Greetings,

The study is about English grammar and the treatment consists of 99 fill-in-the-blank sentences. Half of the sentences are untimed, i.e. participants move at their own pace but the other half are timed meaning that each sentence is shown for 27 seconds and it automatically moves to the next sentence which is untimed. All the sentences must show feedback but feedback for the timed sentences must be displayed for 3 seconds before moving automatically to the next sentence which is untimed.

Here are my questions below:

1. How do I underline text stimuli? The stimuli are underlined "stimuli bank" but it doesn't show up in the preview.
   
2. How do I display some individual sentences for exactly 27 seconds as well as the feedback for each of these timed sentences? In other words, sentence1 is shown for 27 seconds followed automatically by the feedback for 3 seconds before it moves on automatically to sentence2, along with its feedback, which are not timed.
   
3. I need to use fill-in-the-blank responses but how do I display "correct" and "incorrect, the correct answer is..." feedback for each sentence? How would I go about displaying the feedback for some of the sentences for exactly 3 seconds before it automatically moves on to the next sentence?
   
4. How do I upload several images all at once? 
   
5. How do I place three sentences on their on their individual line instead of having them follow each other like sentences in a paragraph? I know how to create paragraphs but I just some sentences to be next to each other on their own line. 
   
6. I have two experimental groups and one control group. Do I need to create three separate experiments?

Hi - please see answers below:

How do I underline text stimuli? The stimuli are underlined "stimuli bank" but it doesn't show up in the preview.

You can use inline css like <span style="text-decoration: underline">hello!</span>

How do I display some individual sentences for exactly 27 seconds as well as the feedback for each of these timed sentences? In other words, sentence1 is shown for 27 seconds followed automatically by the feedback for 3 seconds before it moves on automatically to sentence2, along with its feedback, which are not timed.

Feedback cannot be timed. For the duration of stimuli, check out the barrier tutorial https://news.findingfive.com/2019/04/23/...-barriers/, and a recent update that introduces barrier to text and image stimuli: https://discuss.findingfive.com/showthread.php?tid=127

I need to use fill-in-the-blank responses but how do I display "correct" and "incorrect, the correct answer is..." feedback for each sentence? How would I go about displaying the feedback for some of the sentences for exactly 3 seconds before it automatically moves on to the next sentence?

Custom feedback for the choice response is not possible.

How do I upload several images all at once?

Click "Research" -> "Resource Files", then there's a button for batch upload.

How do I place three sentences on their on their individual line instead of having them follow each other like sentences in a paragraph? I know how to create paragraphs but I just some sentences to be next to each other on their own line.

As mentioned on the documentation page: https://help.findingfive.com/api/stimuli.html#text, you can use HTML tags like <p> or <br/>

I have two experimental groups and one control group. Do I need to create three separate experiments?

You can use participant groups! See the documentation here: https://help.findingfive.com/api/procedu...k_sequence and tutorial here https://news.findingfive.com/2019/05/06/...-grouping/

Hi Ting, how do I display feedback (i.e. "correct" or "incorrect") for fill-in-the-blank responses? I see resources for providing feedback for choice responses but none for fill-in-the-blank responses in which participants can write whatever they think the correct answer is.

Hi!
Unfortunately, feedback is not possible for the text response like it is for the choice response (and we don't currently plan on adding this functionality). You could set target_match to true (link to documentation for more details) to approximate the effect, but it will require participants to type in the exact answer defined as the target in order to continue the study, which may or may not be desirable.
Best,
Rachel
