Step-by-step walkthrough
Step 1: Add a practice choice task. Include a practice task before the main experiment to familiarise respondents with the format.
Step 2: Configure feedback display. Set up a feedback block that appears after the respondent makes their practice choice.
Step 3: Write conditional feedback. Use display logic to show different feedback depending on which alternative was chosen.
Step 4: Add a retry option. Allow respondents to go back and try the practice task again if they want to.
Step 5: Transition to the main experiment. After practice, display a clear transition message before the main choice tasks begin.
