In my experiment, I want to present each block only once, each trial in each block only once, and the events that use stimuli lists only once as well. I want events to be presented in a specific order (no randomization).
Under “trials”, I have checked ": Present trial only if the following criteria are met: number of times this trial has been presented = 0
Under “blocks”, I have tired to check “No looping, present trials only once” but for some reason anytime I go back to this rubric, “Present trials in this block 2 times” is checked".
I see that in the sample experiments for Superlab 4, there is one called “Choosing Pictures From Different Lists, With No Repetition”.
Would you recommend I follow the procedure adopted in that experiment, or is there another way with Superlab 5?
You do not need to set any options to present each block, trial, and event once. This should be the default behavior. Try setting your desired option in the Looping tab, press OK, and then immediately do so again.
Well… no, running the experiment shows it did not work
Hello!
It’s all in the title. I thought it would work because at some point I was able to keep the “no looping, present trials only once” function on, which is not the case anymore.
In fact, when I try to run the experiment, trials in the same one bloc keep coming back and it does not move to trials in another block.
It seems that anytime you navigate to the Looping tab, the second option is automatically selected the next time you open it.
Try this. When you navigate to that tab, click Cancel. Then, open the block editor - which should now already be at the looping tab - make your changes, and press OK.
Cancelling after navigating to the looping tab prevents the undesired changes from setting in, but also allows you to edit looping without the strange behavior the next time you open the block editor.
If this still doesn’t help, please post your experiment. If you are using media files, click File > Create an Experiment Package…
Thank you, Arman,
Your suggestions enabled me to edit looping, but that does not solve the problem.
There must be some details I am not thinking about…
Ditto; I have been having this problem for quite a while. I do find that I can re-select the “No looping, present trials only once” option and then save it and it usually doesn’t revert to the looping, but I echo what others have said. It’s disconcerting to have SuperLab turn the looping on entirely on its own. Please fix this bug!
