Then that's even easier:

Hello
Thank you for your quick help. Now I have an idea how to use the element iscorrectrespons. But I think maybe you misunderstood my description of the needed answers, I'haven't described it clear enough.I'm sorry about that. You wrote:
"I.e. a subject has to respond with a certain key *if* the position of the square in the *current trial* matches the position of the square either 2 (2-back block) or 3 (3-back block) trials before. At least that's how I read your original description."
But the test subject has to give an answer every trial, not only if the square is in the same position as the square 2 or 3 trials back. I'll give you a an example:
2-Back: "Give the position of the square 2 trials before"
1. Trial: Picture= Bottom left / Correct Answer= no response (Because there isn't a square 2 trials before)
2. Trial: Picture= Top right / Correct Answer= no response (Because there isn't a square 2 trials before)
3. Trial: Picture = Bottom right/ Correct Answer= key "A" or Nr. 30 for Inquisit (Because in the first trial, the square was at the position "bottom left")
4. Trial: Picture= Top left / Correct Answer= key "O" or Nr. 24 for Inquisit (Because in the second trial, the square was at the position "top right")
and so forth.....

Perhaps a small example will help to clarify what I mean:

</expt>
<block 2back>
/ onblockbegin = [values.n = 2]
/ trials = [1-100=noreplace(t1,t2,t3,t4)]
</block>
<block 3back>
/ onblockbegin = [values.n = 3]
/ trials = [1-100=noreplace(t1,t2,t3,t4)]
</block>
<trial t1>
/ ontrialbegin = [values.correctkey=0; ]
/ ontrialbegin = [if (values.n==2 && values.2back==17) values.correctkey = values.2back;]

/ stimulusframes = [1=topleft, debug]

I.e. a subject has to respond with a certain key *if* the position of the square in the *current trial* matches the position of the square either 2 (2-back block) or 3 (3-back block) trials before. At least that's how I read your original description.

You use the <trial> element's /iscorrectresponse attribute to check the given response for correctness. I.e. store the position of the stimulus (square) n positions back in a variable, then evaluate whether the given response matches the position stored in that variable.

Hello I am currently working on a non-adaptive N-back task and want to check if the test subject has given the correct answer. But different to the original N-back task the test subject has to answer with the position of a figure N trials before instead of just checking if the figure is the same. The programm shows always the same blue square but in different positions: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right. The test subject than has to tip the positions of the square 2 or 3 trials before into the keyboard: W --> (17) --> top-left O --> (24) --> top-right A --> (30) --> bottom-left
L --> (38) --> bottom-right By now, this is the code i have: Pictures:<picture Nback_trainingsquare1Selection> / items = Nback_trainingsquare1 /select = 1 /size = (100%, 100%) </picture> -->the same for the other 3 square-pictures Trials:<trial training1>
/ stimulustimes = [0 = Nback_trainingsquare1Selection; 0 = Abbruch; 500 = erasertraining; 500 = Abbruch;]
/ validresponse = (noresponse, 30, 38, 17, 24)
/ responsetime = 0
/trialduration = 2500
</trial>
--> the same for the other three suares
Block, 2-Back:
<block TrainingOld_2back_Nr1>
/ onblockbegin = [ values.N = 2;
values.currenttarget = 0; values.minus1 = 0; values.minus2 = 0; values.minus3 = 0; values.minus4 = 0;
values.TotalBlocks = values.TotalBlocks + 1;
values.starttrialcounter = 0;
values.repetitioncounter = values.repetitioncounter + 1;
]
/ trials = [1 - 121 = noreplace(training1, training2, training3, training4)]
/ screencolor = (0, 0, 0)
/ skip = [radiobuttons.agegroup.response!="2"]
</block>
Block, 3-Back:
<block TrainingYoung_3back_Nr1>
/ onblockbegin = [ values.N = 3;
values.currenttarget = 0; values.minus1 = 0; values.minus2 = 0; values.minus3 = 0; values.minus4 = 0;
values.TotalBlocks = values.TotalBlocks + 1;
values.starttrialcounter = 0;
values.repetitioncounter = values.repetitioncounter + 1;
]
/ trials = [1 - 121 = noreplace(training1, training2, training3, training4)]
/ screencolor = (0, 0, 0)
/ skip = [radiobuttons.agegroup.response!="1"]
I hope that someone can help me, thank you! :)
