Hi Victoria,
Thank you!
My sequence in procedures looks as follows:
(there are intro and training blocks here) ...{"$randomize": ["TrialBlock1", "TrialBlock2", "TrialBlock3", "TrialBlock4", "TrialBlock5", "TrialBlock6", "TrialBlock7", "TrialBlock8", "TrialBlock9", "TrialBlock10", "TrialBlock11", "TrialBlock12", "TrialBlock13", "TrialBlock14", "TrialBlock15", "TrialBlock16", "TrialBlock17", "TrialBlock18", "TrialBlock19", "TrialBlock20", "TrialBlock21", "TrialBlock22", "TrialBlock23", "TrialBlock24", "TrialBlock25", "TrialBlock26", "TrialBlock27", "TrialBlock28", "TrialBlock29", "TrialBlock30", "TrialBlock31", "TrialBlock32" ... (there are seven more chunks of these 32 trials, for a total of 224 randomized trial blocks).
I am hoping to have the breaks after every one of these 32 trials, no matter the order the actual trials are presented in. For example, within these 32 trials blocks here, they could be presented in the random order "TrialBlock9", "TrialBlock12", "TrialBlock18", "TrialBlock1" so on and so forth. But regardless, a break would be presented after the 32nd trial.
I tried using "end_trials" as you suggested, but with that, the breaks are presented as an end to one trial block. Because those trial blocks are randomized, if I did an end_trial on TrialBlock32, but TrialBlock32 was presented as, say, the fifth trial block in the randomized block sequence, the break would also be presented there. I also tried making a trial template as in your first suggestion, with creating a trial template for the break in trial_templates, creating a block for it in the procedure, and then adding it to the block sequence. However, it was randomized in the same way as the end_trial option was.
That all said, it sounds like there wouldn't be a way to implement catch trials into this study given its design?
Thank you so much!
Grace
