Is it possible to implement a response window/deadline within Inquisit? If so, can you provide a code snippet that illustrates how to do so?&nbsp;<br/><br/>2. Is it possible to prevent the participant from emitting any response on a given trial (e.g., if they press the spacebar then nothing happens - the trial proceeds as normal)? <br/><br/>Thanks for the help! <br/><br/>Sean &nbsp;Fri, 07 Oct 2016 07:47:52 GMTSean_Hugheshttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic19820.aspx&gt; 1. Is it possible to implement a response window/deadline within Inquisit? If so, can you provide a code snippet that illustrates how to do <br/>&gt; so? <br/><br/>See the documentation for the &lt;trial&gt; element's /timeout, /trialduration and/or /beginresponsetime attributes. Also see the "How to Control Trial Duration and Inter-Trial Intervals" in the documentation's how-to section. A forum search will return numerous sxamples using /timeout and/or&nbsp; /trialduration.<br/><br/>&gt; 2. Is it possible to prevent the participant from emitting any response on a given trial (e.g., if they press the spacebar then nothing <br/>&gt; happens &gt; - the trial proceeds as normal)?<br/><br/>If you don't want a trial to accept any response you specify <br/><br/>/ validresponse = (0)<br/><br/>You also need to specify either a /timeout or /trialduration for said &lt;trial&gt;, otherwise it would never end.<br/> Fri, 07 Oct 2016 07:47:52 GMTDave
