Using a Previous Location

    Using a Previous Location

    Hi, is there any way to refer to a previous location using just DirectRT? My goal is to have a trial in which a stimulus is presented at a random location, and then a second stimulus is presented at the same location as the first.

    On a similar note, I need to be able to tell which random location was chosen for both stimuli in each trial, but the log file doesn't give any location data- any way I could get it to show location information?

    Hi JTE10,

    If you are trying to use the loc field of the input file, then I can see where the problem is. That particular part of the input file can place stimuli at specific locations on the screen but cannot be randomized. However, I wonder if this could be possible using stimlists. How many different stimuli and how many different locations does your study use?
