Hi everyone, 

I am creating a task where participants first have to give ratings to different words (using a timed likert trial) and then they have to chose between the words. At the moment I am using a radiobuttons page to do the forced choice component. However, I want the text to appear centrally on the screen, like it does in the preceding likert trials. How do I create a trial with text centrally, including two words which participants can select (e.g., by clicking on them)?

In case it's helpful, I've included an image of a preceding likert trial, in which the text appears centrally on the screen. I'd like the forced choice trial to look like this, but with two words underneath (e.g., 'Red' and 'Blue'), and the participant is able to select one of the words (and no likert scale). 

Thanks so much, 
Lauren

You simply set up your <text> elements as needed and display them via a <trial> element with /inputdevice set to mouse:

<trial sometrial>
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ stimulusframes = [1=question, leftword, rightword, ...]
/ validresponse = (leftword, rightword)
...
</trial>

GO
