Hi, 

I've read all of the documentation about open-ended response questions. However, I cannot figure out why my experiment does not allow participants to enter their text response. The open-ended question is portrayed on the screen but there is no response box for participants to enter their text response. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. My script is pasted below. Thank you!!

Shona

***********************************************************************
This sample AMP can be easily adapted to different target categories 
and attributes. To change the categories, you need only change the 
stimulus items and labels immediately below this line.

***********************************************************************


<item likertlabel>
/1 = "(Strongly disagree)1----2----3----4----5----6----7(Strongly agree)"
</item>

<item heart>
/1 = "heart4.jpg"
/2 = "heart5.jpg"
</item>

<item fixation> 
/1= "fixation.jpg"
</item>


***********************************************************************
To change the categories, you need only change the stimulus items and 
labels immediately above this line. All commands below relate to the 
AMP procedure, and need only be changed if you wish to modify the 
generic AMP procedure.
