Hi,
How do I program such that there is a time limit for categorizing in an IAT? Ie. if a person spends over, say, 5000 ms to respons in an IAT a message appears and it automatically moves to the next attribute in the design.
Thanks!

You would specifiy a /timeout in the <trial> elements:

<trial attributeA>
...
/timeout = 5000
</trial>

Thanks, that was easy enough.
When I implement this it automatically skips to the next stimuli in the trial after the 5000 ms timelimit. Is there a way of haulting the test instead of going forward automatically? And have the respondent press a button before the next stimuli appears?

Yes, you can /branch to some trial that displays nothing or some kind of message and requires a key press before moving on. I.e.
(The below trial will accept a press on any key, specify the key or keys you want to allow in /validresponse)
<trial pause>
....
/ validresponse = (anyresponse)
</trial>
with
<trial attributeA>
...
/timeout = 5000
/ branch = [ if (trial.attributeA.response == 0) trial.pause]
</trial>
