I created a script that uses wav files as target &nbsp;(and text files as attributes). I also created a text item "Sound" that appears along with the auditory stimuli.&nbsp;<br/>Thus an auditory trial (and the text item) looks like this:<br/><br/>&lt;text begin&gt; <br/>/ items = ("Sound")<br/>/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%)<br/>&lt;/text&gt;<br/><br/>&lt;trial targetBleft&gt;<br/>/ validresponse = ("E", "I")<br/>/ correctresponse = ("E")<br/>/ stimulusframes = [1 = targetB, begin]<br/>/ posttrialpause = 250<br/>&lt;/trial&gt;<br/><br/>But the problem is that the informants keep forgetting to push the buttons as the "Sound" text appears and the sound starts&nbsp;at the same time and there is nothing remembering them to push when the sound ended.<br/>Therefore, I would like to delay the apearance of the "Sound" text (and test t if it's okay) and I hope it might help.<br/>However, I have found no clue how to do this meither on the tutorial sites, nor in the attributes (when I was surfing through the manual).<br/><br/>Could you help me out?<br/>Thanks a lot,<br/>AndreaFri, 03 Oct 2014 03:46:30 GMTAndrea Demehttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic14502.aspxTo "delay" the presentation of the &lt;text&gt; element, you do something along the lines of<br/><br/>/ stimulustimes = [0=targetB; 1000=begin]<br/><br/>instead of<br/><br/>/ stimulusframes = [1 = targetB, begin]Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:46:30 GMTDave
