problem with single category IAT

Hey,

I need to use single category IAT. After downloading the script from millisecond script repository I changed the stimuli sets only and hoped that it will work smoothly. Unfortunately it basically gives mi wrong feedback messages, i.e. although I correctly hit 'Negative category' for negative pictures it returns error message. To make things even more curious - it does so not on every occasion. Can anyone help me to spot the problem with the script?

When you open the script (in 4.0.10 version), go directly to <block attributepractice> and run this block. Negative category is on the right (response key 'I'), and positive category in on the left (response key 'E'). The above problem of incorrect error feedback is present only with picture stimuli, so don't bother with Polish words.

Please - help!

Cheers,
Robert

Dave,

Thank you very much. From now on I'll call you (at least in my thoughts) the Super-Supreme Being.
