Running Inquisit on different mobile devices

Leena — Wed, 29 Sep 2021 06:51:31 GMT

Hello,

We would like to conduct an experiment that is also suitable for mobile devices. Our script works great on the computer, but the stimuli (pictures) are presented in a different position when using a phone or tablet. The position and size of the stimuli are actually fixed (the images should be shown in the middle of the screen). However, when using mobile devices, they are shifted to the top.
We have defined the properties like this:

<picture male_4_sad>
/ items = ("29FrameF (11).jpg")
/ position = (50%, 50%)
/ size = (70%, 70%)
/ erase = false
</picture>

Is any information missing or can we somehow control that the images are displayed at the right position even on mobile devices?
Thanks for the help!

I tried to set inputdevice=mouse in <defaults>, but unfortunately that didn't work. The problem is still there. Or do I have to change something else?

There's still something in your script that requires an input button (regardless of mouse or keyboard input), namely the instruction page.
Thus space continues to be reserved at the bottom of the screen for this purpose. If you strip that page out, it'll be gone.

[code]<defaults>
/screencolor = (255, 255, 255)
/fontstyle = ("Arial", 2%)
/ posttrialpause = 500
/ canvasposition = (50%, 50%)
/ inputdevice = mouse
</defaults>

<expt>
/ blocks = [1= practice]
</expt>

<block practice>
/ trials = [1-2=list.trialselectiontest]
</block>

<list trialselectiontest>
/ items = (trial.pic1, trial.pic2)
/ selectionmode = random
/ itemprobabilities = (0.5, 0.5)
/ poolsize = 2
/ replace = false
</list>

<trial pic1>
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (lbuttondown)
/ stimulustimes = [0=fixation; 500=erasefixation, pic_1]
/ beginresponsetime = 0
/ response = timeout (3500)
</trial>

<trial pic2>
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ validresponse = (lbuttondown)
/ stimulustimes = [0=fixation; 500=erasefixation, pic_2]
/ beginresponsetime = 0
/ response = timeout (3500)
</trial>

************************** stimuli *****************************

<picture pic_1>
/ items = ("pic1.png")
/ position = (50%, 50%)
/ size = (70%, 70%)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<picture pic_2>
/ items = ("pic2.png")
/ position = (50%, 50%)
/ size = (70%, 70%)
/ erase = false
</picture>

<text fixation>
/ items = ("m3")
/fontstyle = ("Arial", 10%)
/ position = (50%, 50%)
</text>

<text erasefixation>
/ items = ("+")
/ txcolor = (255, 255, 255)
/ size = (100%, 100%)
/ position = (50%, 50%)
</text>[/code]

Here is attached a short script as an example. I have also included a screenshot where you can see that the image is not displayed in the center, but shifted to the top.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Provide the full code, please, including any and all files it requires to run. Please also provide a screenshot showing the supposed shift to the top.

Providing the definition single <picture> element without context is not useful.
