Displaying message when a non-valid response is entered

Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 12	Hi, I would like inquisit to display a message if/when a user presses a non-valid key (e.g. if the valid keys are 'a' and 'z', and the participant presses 'f', I want to display "please press A for choice a, or Z for choice b"), but can't figure out how to do it from within the trial. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Marina

Group: Forum Members Posts: 6, Visits: 12	Thanks Dave, I figured this might be the case, but thought I'd ask just in case. I tried to work around this by instead displaying a message after a 6-second delay if there is no response, reminding the participants of which keys to press. However, even though I set /responseinterrupt = immediate, it still waits out the full 6 seconds and displays the message, even if a valid response is entered right away. I include my code below. Any suggestions for how to fix this? <trial choice> / validresponse = ("F", "J" "4" "6") / stimulustimes = [0 = easychoice_left, hardchoice_right; 6000 = reminder] / posttrialpause = 250 /responseinterrupt = immediate /responsetrial = ("F", trial_add1) /responsetrial = ("4", trial_add1) /responsetrial = ("J", trial_add3) /responsetrial = ("6", trial_add3) /ontrialend = [values.totaltrials = values.totaltrials +1] </trial>

You can override this by specifying the /beginresponsetime or /beginresponseframe attribute (formerly /responsetime and /responseframe). Edited 11 Years Ago by Dave
