Thanks, Dave!
As I progress with my experiment, more and more issues appear. Now I am having trouble making my color test period begin after the training period is over, and the video practice period begin after the test is over as well.
1) How do I create a trial in which I have two options (I guess this is the way to make the trial.nameoftrial.correctstreak command work)
2) If I designate three picture items and list them one after the other, will they come in sequence or do I have to define it? The idea behind this is that each video is a sequence of three images appearing at different speeds, then a few questions.
3) As for the instruction slides, I resized it and it still does not fill the entire screen. Would hosting them online and using their URL as the path solve the problem?
Thank you for all your help!
