If there is more than one experiment, then trials form the experiments will be interspersed. The order of which trials from the experiment are shown is random, but remains constant for a given participant.
Trial 1: first trial exp2
Trial2: first trial exp1
Trial3: second trial exp2
Trial4: third trial exp1
…
Each session has exactly one instruction screen preceding it, and by default it will be instruction.md
To use a different filename for the instructions file, add a column ‘instructions’, and specify the filename for that session in reach row that belongs to an experiment in that session. There must be one unique instructions filename for that session
To show no instructions before a session, add a column ‘instructions’, and leave the cells for all trials in that session empty
There can be more than one session (e.g. a practice session and a test session). To add more than one that, there must be a session column, and every row from each session has to have the session name in it (e.g. ‘Practice’ or ‘1’)
Per default, the instructions from instructions.md will be shown
To specify the instructions file, add a column ‘instructions’ to the spreadsheet (usually necessary if there are multiple sessions)
Sessions by default presented in the order in which they are listed in the spreadsheet
SessionOrder can specify that the order should be random
If session order is set to random, if there is a session called ‘Practice’ it is always shown first, and if there is a session called ‘Test’ it is always shown last
Screens
The hello-page, consent-page, instructions-page, and goodbye page are all simple .md files, and need to be provided in the experiment folder
The last paragraph of these pages will be used as button text for the button that will lead to the next page
The text of the button will be saved to the experiment results (so the last paragraph could contain the relevant consent information, so that that information will be saved along with the data)
Folder structure
experiment
This folder contains all the experiment-specific files
spreadsheet
hello.md (file that the participants is shown first; filename can be specficied in spreadsheet in column ‘hello’)
instructions.md (file with instructiosn for the experiment session, when there are multiple sessions filename should be specified in column ‘instructions’)
