Simple Reversed Countdown?

AnthonyFCollinsSussex — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 15:29:13 GMT

Hey there

Hope all is well! A week on, experiment is basically finished! I'm seeking help with one small thing. I have tried various methods for creating a reversed countdown stimulus, literally as basic as - 3, 2, 1, such that on a trial sequence:

countdown (3, 2, 1, thus total of three seconds, second each) ---> target audio stimulus (with a visual musical note cue) --> comprehension question --> (after keyboard response, elicits next trial, thus back to the countdown again).

The countdown should display each numeral replacing the last on central screen. Everything else is working below!, its literally just the countdown I require for each trial (before the audio files are played). I've tried ontrialbegin, clock, counter, timer, lots of things. Thank you kindly in advance. Yours Sincerely
