Accepting participant response while GIF is playing

Jhall91 — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 13:11:25 GMT

Hi,
I have a GIF stimuli that is 60 frames played over 1000ms. Ideally, participants would be able to register their response at any point during the 60 frames/1000 ms. That is, prior to the last frame (frame 60) or 1000ms duration. Unfortunately, I can't work out how to allow for this. Can anyone let me know if this is possible, and if so how?

Thanks for your time,
Jackie

Provide the gif and your code, please. Otherwise nobody can tell you what you need to change.

In general, if you want to allow responses while a sound, video, or GIF is playing, you'll want to set /playthrough = false in the respective <video> or <sound> element.

Hi Dave,
I have provided the basic for my experiment below and relevant GIFs. Apologies for the rudimentary code, I am very new to Inquisit and coding in general.
I did try the playthrough = false suggestion, but to no avail.
Please let me know if you need anything further.

By default a <trial> will begin accepting responses only once its entire stimulus presentation sequence has been completed. I.e. with

[code]<trial movieten>
/trialcode = "mo10"
/stimulustimes = [ 1= movieseven, Movieeleven, Movietwelve; 500 = clearscreen]
/trialduration = 5000
/ validresponse = ("Z", "/")
/ correctresponse = ("Z")
</trial>[/code]

responses are possible from 500ms into the trial, concurrent with the display of the clearscreen stimulus at 500. If you want to allow for responses while the stimulus presentation sequence is ongoing, use /beginresponsetime to specify the time from which you want to allow responses. Be sure to also set the desired /responseinterrupt.
