It is impossible to respond "openended" in that <trial>. Thus that trial will never end, and you will never even get to the <openended>. Either define a /timeout and /validresponse=(noresponse) for your <trial> elements, or throw them out go straight to using <openended> elements' /stimulustimes to display the various stimuli.

In other words, I want both the question and the openended response box to appear on the screen at the same time. Is there any way for me to do that? Thanks again so much for your help, Shona

Set the question <text> element's /erase attribute to 'false' and it will remain on screen. #2: But you really should consider the 2nd option I have mentioned many, many times throughout this thread. An <openended> element is a <trial>. Hence, why don't you simply do <openended 16ms> / stimulustimes = [0=fixation; 900=heart; 916=blank; 990=question1] / trialdata = [heart] ... </openended> <block test> / trials = [1 = 16ms; ...] </block>
