Hi there,
I have finally managed to get my script to run but my experiment seems to end after blocks 1 and 2 (word stimuli). It isn't moving on to the picture stimuli at all!
My pictures have uploaded fine so I think this must be an experimental code issue. I've pasted my script below. Can anyone help please?
Thanks.

Note that the coding for distractor trials (no response) results in Inquisit
marking errors (hitting the space bar) as 'correct' and correct responses (not hitting
the space bar) as 'errors'. This is a consequence of ensuring accurate feedback to the
user, but should be recognized for data analysis.

^Please read the instructions carefully before proceeding with the task.
^^The task that you will be doing involves selecting stimuli based on colour.
You will see words or pictures flashed up in the middle of the screen, all you need
to do is select those that are marked in a certain colour. For instance, in one condition
you will be asked to search for all the words that are written in red.
^^When you see a word that is written in red hit the space bar as fast as possible.
^^Ignore all other words and pictures that are marked in a different colour.
</page>
<page begin2>
^The words and pictures that you will be looking for will either be red or blue.
^^Before each task begins you will be told which colour you will need to select. There will also be a
reminder at the top corner of the screen throughout.
^^At certain points you may be asked to select more than one colour at a time (e.g. red and blue).
^^Please ensure that you try and respond as quickly as possible, but try not to make any mistakes.

<page begin3>
^^In this task you will see pictures flashed up in the middle of the computer
screen and will be told to select those which have a boarder that is a certain colour.
For instance, in one condition you will be asked to search for all the pictures that have red border.^^
^^When you see a 'red' picture hit the space bar as fast as possible.
^^Ignore all other pictures that have a different colour.^^

<page begin4>
^^The borders that you will be looking for will be either red or blue.^^
