Hey all,
I'm trying to get a timeout to branch to warning text. If I let it timeout, it goes to a warning but if I hit the correct response it goes to the warning as well. Help please
<trial zpress>
/correctresponse = (50)
/responsetrial = (50, method2)
/branch = [ if (trial.zpress.timeout) trial.warnings]
/timeout = 5000
</trial>

trial.zpress.timeout
A trial's timeout property returns the specified timeout, in your case 5000. You can see this for yourself by running
<trial mytrial>
/ stimulusframes = [1=mytext]
/ validresponse = (57)
/ timeout = 5000
</trial>
<text mytext>
/ items = ("<%trial.mytrial.timeout%>")
</text>
In a branch condition, any non-zero value (here: 5000) will be interpreted as 'true'. Thus your branch always fires.
The correct way to do this is to check for 'no response'.
/branch = [ if (trial.zpress.response == 0) trial.warnings]
