Hi

I get the following error when making this item:

"Could not locate element 'Acting_instructions'."

<item Acting_instructions>
/ 1 = "The following trials have an additional instruction in comparison to the previous trials.
If the light bulb is turned on when the letter is presented, press the SPACEABAR to continue.
When the light bulb is turned off, you do NOT have to press the spacebar to continue with the task.~r
It is important that you do your best on both the math problems and
the letter recall parts of this experiment.~r
Remember on the math you must work as QUICKLY and ACCURATELY as possible.
Also, remember to keep your math accuracy at 85% or above.~r
Do you have any questions?~r~r~r
If not, <%expressions.buttoninstruct1%> to begin the experiment."
</item>

Does anyone know what the mistake is? I want to create a screen with instructions for the following block.

Kind regards

An <item> element is not a stimulus element. In itself, it is not enough to display anything. You need to create a <text> element that references the <item> element and display that <text> element.
