InstantForum 2017-1 FinalMillisecond Forumshttps://forums.millisecond.com/Millisecond ForumsSat, 18 Apr 2026 03:49:16 GMT20https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic25338.aspxI have set up an experiment in Inquisit where participants see, on each trial, a fixation cross followed by 5 different stimuli, presented subsequently one at the time. It then saves all participants' responses during the trial in 'values.responses'. Currently, the times when each stimulus comes on the screen during a trial is set in stimulustimes in milliseconds (see below). However, I was wondering if it is possible to set it up in such a way that the trial continues to the next stimulus in the trial only when the participant pressed a button, e.g. the space bar. in other words, that 'learning2' stimulus would not onset at 7000 milliseconds but would wait until the participant has pressed the button, etc. Thanks!<br/><br/>&lt;trial learning&gt;<br/>/ ontrialbegin = [values.responses="";]<br/>/ stimulustimes = [1=fixation; 1000=learning1; 7000=learning2; 27000=learning3; 58000=learning4; 84000=learning5]<br/>/ isvalidresponse = [{values.responses=concat(concat(values.responses, ","), trial.learning.response); false;}]<br/>/ recorddata = true<br/>/ beginresponsetime = 0<br/>/ inputdevice = keyboard<br/>/ responseinterrupt = trial<br/>/ timeout = 50000<br/>&lt;/trial&gt;<br/>Wed, 25 Jul 2018 10:48:41 GMTscollinhttps://forums.millisecond.com/Topic25340.aspx<div data-id="25339" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1532540912255"><a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="25339" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">+</span></a><a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="25339" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">x</span></a><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[quote]</span><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"><a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="25339" title=" "></a></div><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[b]</span>Dave - Wednesday, July 25, 2018<span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[/b]</span></div><div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-25339"><div class="if-quote-message-margin"><div data-id="25338" class="if-quote-wrapper" unselectable="on" data-guid="1532540912255"><a class="quote-para" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="25338" title="Move Cursor Below" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">+</span></a><a class="quote-delete" unselectable="on" style="display: none;" href="#" data-id="25338" title="Delete Quote" contenteditable="false"><span unselectable="on">x</span></a><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[quote]</span><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-header" contenteditable="false"><div unselectable="on" class="if-quote-toggle-wrapper"><a class="if-quote-toggle quote-link" href="#" data-id="25338" title=" "></a></div><span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[b]</span>scollin - Wednesday, July 25, 2018<span unselectable="on" class="quote-markup">[/b]</span></div><div class="if-quote-message if-quote-message-25338"><div class="if-quote-message-margin">I have set up an experiment in Inquisit where participants see, on each trial, a fixation cross followed by 5 different stimuli, presented subsequently one at the time.
