Prevent responses during time timeout message

Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 49	Hi! I am very new to Inquisit and I have to program a simple categorization task. My trials are scripted as such: <trial categorizationTrialL> / stimulustimes = [0=fixationCross; 1000=stimuliL6; 2000=noResponse] / beginresponsetime = 1000 / iscorrectresponse = ("l") / validresponse = ("k", "l") / correctmessage = true(positiveFeedback, 1000) / errormessage = true(negativeFeedback, 1000) </trial> noResponse is a text element that encourages participants to respond faster next time if they fail to make a valid response during the 1000ms presentation of the actual stimulus. However, I believe this will allow participants to enter a key after the disappearance of the stimulus, during the timeout message. Is there any way to avoid this?

You can then use /responsemessage to display your "please respond faster" message. <trial sometrial> ... / timeout = 2000 / responsemessage = (0, noRespose, 500) ... </trial> Apart from that, the syntax for your /iscorrectresponse attribute is broken and won't work. You'll want to use the simple /correctresponse attribute here, anyway: / correctresponse = ("l")
