Randomization of page order

Question

Hello SoSci team,

I have a survey in which I present 50 words that later need to be remembered.

I want to randomize the order in which the words are presented. Each word is in a page. How can I randomize the page order? Is there an easy way to achieve that?

Thank you very much for your help!

Answer 1

Given that these are a lot of words, I would recommend to try with the assignment task, first. This is a question type that can present one stimulus at a time, respondents can continue by pressing a key, and you can simply tell the question to rotate the order.

If you do not like that option, you may take a look at loopPage() which can also be used to present words on separate pages, when used together with an array, shuffle() or a random generator and html().
