Using an Image as a fixation in LDT

Sam West — Tue, 02 Jun 2015 16:59:11 GMT

Hello there. I am currently designing an LDT experiment using a joystick. I am trying to make the fixation point (currently an asterisk) an image and am kind of lost as to how to approach this as I am pretty new to inquisit.

So this is how the text element looks
<text ready>
/ items = ("*")
</text>

and this is the trial element with the text element incorporated.
<trial ldtcategory>
/ stimulustimes = [0=ready; 700=category; 950=blank]
/ inputdevice = joystick
/ validresponse = ("forward", "back")
/ correctresponse = ("back")
/ beginresponsetime = 700
</trial>

So is there any way to replace this with an image? It functions exactly how I need it too, I simply need to replace the text character with an image file.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Remove <text ready> from the script and replace it with

<picture ready>
/ items = ("TheImageFileYouWantToUse.jpg")
</picture>

That is all.
