The phrase "alternating trial" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to experiments, studies, or tests where different conditions or treatments are applied in succession.
Example: "In our research, we conducted an alternating trial to compare the effects of the two medications on patient recovery times."
Alternatives: "rotating trial" or "sequential trial".
Then, on alternating trials, one puppet would grab the lid and open it all the way, and another puppet would jump on the box and slam it shut.
In this experiment, two katydids were presented computer playbacks of 100 sharp click sounds at a uniform rate of two clicks per second, in alternating trials of ordinary incandescent room light and near-complete darkness (six light trials, six dark trials).
Regarding the discrimination performance (d׳) in the REP block, the mean d׳ for repeated and alternated trials were respectively, 1.61 and 1.63 (SD: 0.86, SD: 0.79).
Regarding d׳ in the ALT block, the mean d׳ for repeated and alternated trials were, respectively, 1.90 and 1.54 (SD: 0.82, SD: 0.72).
We are aware that it is surprising that, in the REP condition of Experiment 2, participants did not show any d׳ difference between repeated and alternated trials.
The T-Maze task consisted of habituation trials, followed consecutively by alternating shaping trials, alternation training without a delay, and then delayed alternation testing.
This condition is identical to the previous condition except that, between the alternating trials, an object is seen crossing the gap.
To simulate this experimental data, the model was trained with alternating trials where the CS was coupled with one US at a short ISI of 250 ms or one US at a long ISI of 750 ms. Figure 9B shows the result of the simulation.
On alternating trials, the food wells were covered with either two novel, but different, objects (X, Y), or by no objects at all (none, Figure 4).
Only every alternate trial, after the learning trial was used for this calculation.
The final peak timing for each cell was determined by averaging every alternate trial from trials 26 to 50.
