I am very new to Qualtrics and working on a survey for my Bachelor´s Thesis.
It´s a memory task. I have 30 pictures and names shown to the participants with loop & merge. Their task is to memorize those pictures. Afterwards they are shown the old 30 pictures and additionaly 30 new ones (in a randomized order). They are asked to select whether it is an old or a new picture by pressing the corresponding button.
My goal is to give the participants feedback on how well they performed by counting how often they pressed the right button (old/new). In order to do that I added an additional coloumn to the loop & merge indicating whether the picture is old or new. My idea was to count how often the participants answer matches the value in this added coloumn. Is this a possible way to count the right answers and if so, how can I implement this in Qualtrics? Can I create a variable to achieve this?
Thank you in advance!
Question
Giving feedback to participants by counting answers matching predetermined value
+22You need to use JS to calculate the correct choice.
+4Counting button clicks is highly dependent on your setup.
In our research lab we also have a number of old/new test designs (but we focus on face recognition, not memory). We have opted for much simpler setup - instead of loop & merge we copy-paste the Qs and replace with the images. Then we use Scoring to select the correct responses.
P.S. On a completely unrelated side note just a question we wrestle a lot in our lab: Do you really want your test phase (the 60 trials containing half/half old/new pictures/stimuli) to be completely random? If so, how do you justify order effects?
