Auditory Stroop by Gender not displaying final page

Hello,

I am using the Auditory Stroop by Gender script from the library unchanged and it is not displaying an end page thanking the participant for their participation.

Can you advise me?

I can see that there is a line of code that says:

<page end>
You have reached the end of the study. Thank you for your participation!
</page>

But a screen never presents that information.

Also, can you advise on how I might reduce the number of trials if I wish, it is kinda long.

Thanks heaps for your help!

To have that page displayed, add

/ postinstructions = (end)

to all the <expt> elements in the script.

To reduce the number of trials, you'll want to edit the various <block>s' /trials attributes. E.g.

<block GenderStroop>
/ onblockbegin = [
    values.phase = 2;
]
/ trials = [1 = instructions; 2 = getReady; 3-26 = noreplace(Stroop, Control)]
</block>

runs 12 stroop and 12 control trials (in random order). Change it to

/ trials = [1 = instructions; 2 = getReady; 3-14 = noreplace(Stroop, Control)]

to run only 6 stroop and 6 control trials, for example.
