Dear Dave,
At the end of each training done by the participants, they need to scale their concentration:
<trial concentrationdecision>
/ stimulusframes = [1 = concentration]
/ validresponse = ("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0")
/ correctresponse = ("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","0")
/ ontrialbegin = [
values.scoreconcentration = 0;
]
/ ontrialend = [values.scoreconcentration = trial.concentrationdecision.response]
</trial>

The only problem is that for one participant I receive answers like: 71,72,73...When I called her, she told me that it's because she was using the numbers on the right from the keyboard and not the ones in the up region. I cannot find the equivalence in Inquisit manual. I mean for example 74 what does it means in the scale between 0 and 9?

Thank you in advance,

71, 72, etc. are the keyboard scancodes of the keys on a keyboard's numpad. You can see which keys they correspond to via Tools -> Keyboard Scancodes... in Inquisit Lab as well as find a list in the documentation http://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/language/scancodes.htm

Here are the relavant scancodes and corresponding numerical values for a typical numpad:
82 = "0"
79 = "1"
80 = "2"
81 = "3"
75 = "4"
76 = "5"
77 = "6"
71 = "7"
72 = "8"
73 = "9"
