I know I am doing something really stupid, but I am not sure what it is. We wish to present 8 digits (rather than 5) in the format XXXXXXXX. Either no repeats or 1 repeat of any digit is permissible.
I attached two versions of a partial experiment. In both versions sometimes 8 digits are displayed (as desired), but sometimes 7 or fewer digits are displayed.
The problem that your experiment is having is due to a bug in SuperLab. SuperLab was not resetting the trial variable correctly. The bug happens in only very specific situations.
You can get around it in your experiment by following these steps:
Change the variable to Sequential
Save and re-open the experiment
Change it back to Random With No Replacement
Also, you only need to use two invisible locations for your trial variables. You should have a total of 10 trial variable locations, eight onscreen and two for off.

Thank you very much!
(Was I wrong to think that if I have 10 “digit” events that I needed 8 visible and 2 invisible locations, but if I had 20 “digit” events that I needed 8 visible and 12 invisible locations? I was thinking the latter would give me some repeated digits and the former would not.)
