SWIECHE - 3/9/2021

Hi, 
I am trying to program a task that gives trials where participants see a word and are asked to recall another associated word. As the experimenter is coding the responses, I want to program that pressing the 'l' key acts as the correct response. If the experimenter does not press they key before time-out, this represents an inaccurate trial, and the correct associated word should be presented on the screen for an extra 2.5 seconds. For some reason this does not work for me. It only shows the associated word for a splitsecond when I click "l" (even though it should appear when I do not click it), and also does not correctly correspond to the other word. This is what I have so far:

<parameters>
/phase1Timeout = 5000                   
/phase1incorrect = 2500
</parameters>

<values>
/index_Baselinecueword = 0
/index_Baselinerecallword = 0

Do you see where the problem lies? Thank you for the help!

Please provide code that is complete enough to actually run.
