Addition of feedback

[Beta]

Dear Dr. Inn,
 
Thank you for your support of E-Prime. You will need to keep a separate
summation variable to look at the Probe.Acc property before feedback.
Summation objects are used to collect a series of observations. From
this collection, various summary measures may be determined, such as
minimum or maximum value in the collection, the number of observations,
and various statistical measures, such as mean, standard deviation, or
variance of the observations within the collection. For more information
about the Summation object, please refer to the E-Basic OnLine Help. You
may access E-Basic OnLine Help within E-Studio via the taskbar and
selecting the Help option.
 
Here is some sample script for your particular experiment, you will need
to place this script in an InLine object before your Feedback object.
Please try the script below and re-run your experiment.
 
If (Probe.ACC=1) Then
    ' Correct so figure out how many points they get
    If c.GetAttrib("TrialType")="TrialThatGets3Points" Then
        MySummation.AddObservation 3
    Else        '
        MySummation.AddObservation 1
    End If
Else
    ' Wrong, may want to sum a 0 here if you are interested in Mean
Points/Trial, if not you can ignore it.
End If
 
' If user needs to display total points in feedback then add to context
and put [TotalPoints] somewhere on feedback tabs...
c.SetAttrib "TotalPoints", MySummation.Total
 
I hope this information is helpful in the completion of your experiment.
 
Sincerely,
Jennifer Gliptis

Subject: Addition of feedback



Hello anyone out there, 

Can anyone please enlighten me on how to display different feedbacks in
an experiment? 
(say, getting a correct answer for type "A" questions earn you 1 point &
getting a correct answer for type "B" questions earn you 3 points.)

Also, if the above is done, how to add up all these scores that are
displayed in the feedback? 

PLEASE HELP- thesis deadline drawing near..............
