Hi everyone
I am a new user, using software like this for the first time. I am currently using the trial version.
I would like to set up an experiment using Inquisit 4 to test reaction times based on audio and visual cues. Specifically, I want the participants to hear a specific message (which I have audio files for) and at the same time look at 4 images and pick the one that corresponds to the audio message. I would also want to record the time taken for them to pick the correct image (time measured from start of auditory message/display of visuals to selecting correct image).
Is there a script out there that will help me achieve this? I'm sorry, I don't have programming background and any help on achieving this would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
This doesn't sound overly complicated and you should be able to set this up after completing the tutorials included in the documentation as well as reading through the "How to..." section. In essence you need to set up a <sound> or <video> element for the audion files, a bunch of <picture> elements and link them as needed (see the "How to present stimulus pairs" topic). Then set up a <trial> to display all those stims and collect responses.
Thanks Dave - I will go through that How To topic and see if the sample scripts can get me through this project. Will reply back if I have more questions. Really appreciate the help.
