Changing the Buttons on the IAT

Hi All,

I'm administering an IAT using Inquisit 5. It's all set up except the buttons on the bottom of the screen say "I" and "E." We'd like them to say nothing (or if they have to say something, to say "L" and "R" for left and right). How can we go about changing this? 

Thanks so much for any help.

Those buttons should only show up on devices that have no keyboard attached. The labels on those buttons are determined by the the keyboard keys defined as /validresponse and /correctresponse in the script's <trial> elements, e.g.

<trial attributeA>
/ validresponse = ("E", "I")
/ correctresponse = ("E")

/ stimulusframes = [1 = attributeA, errorReminder]
/ posttrialpause = parameters.ISI
</trial>

As such, it is not possible to change the labels independently of the keyboard keys you defined.

This was so helpful - thanks!

Hi Dave - one last question for you! Can you change the color of the text on the touchscreen response buttons? 

Thanks so much.

No, that's not currently possible, I'm afraid.
