Inheritance

In this tutorial we will learn how to create sets of Trials/Stimuli/Media and use them for randomization.

Sets are essentialy lists of objects that allow us to select objects out of them. The typical set definition looks something like this:

    API.addMediaSet('setName',[
        media1,
        media2
    ]);

Using objects from a set is simple. all you have to do is add the inherit property to the inheriting object. There are two syntax types for inheriting. The simplified version randomly inherits a media object form the set 'mediaSet':

    media: {inherit: 'mediaSet'}

The full syntax allows you to pick the inheritance type:

    media: {
        inherit: {
            set: 'mediaSet',
            type: 'exRandom'
        }
    }
