How do I do random paring from a list and jumping combined? (case 2014)

    How do I do random paring from a list and jumping combined? (case 2014)

    What I've desperately been trying to achieve is to present a cue word randomly picked from a list, then yoke it to its word-pair from another list. But there's a catch: I want it to appear in a different font depending on which button a participant presses. I tried jumping to a trial, but that messes with the yoking of randomized trials. I also tried wgr randomization, which creates problems when I later try to recall that stimulus that appeared in the particular trial, as that takes them in in alphabetical order and not in the way they were randomized earlier in the session.
    Please help!

    The next troublesome spot is when I try to call up a cue word that had been randomly picked from that first list. The order is just out of whack. Maybe because of the jumping function?


    Thank you for your patience and assistance, any advice would be appreciated!

    Novice that happens to need the advanced functions to start an experiment asap.

    Can you attach a simplified input file (just a few trials) that illustrates the issue?

    I actually encountered the same problem with jumping and yoking. I submited my question a few minutes ago. Thank you for any help with this issue.
