However, this pressed key ("v") is supposed to still be recorded in the data file everything it is pressed during the trial. How can I tell Inquisit to do so? For any suggestions, thanks a lot in advance! Best, Maxi Tags response response key trial

If you don't want the response to terminate the /trial, select a suitable /responseinterrupt mode in the <trial> element. The default is 'immediate', which is not what you want. You want either 'trial' or 'frames'

Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 20	Dear Dave, great, thank you so much for this super fast reply. I was just wondering if it is also possible that I have one response (space key) that is recorded but does end the trial and the other response ("v") that is just recorded but does not end the trial. I this also possible somehow with this /responseinterupt argument in the trial element? Or do I need something else to specify this? Best, Maxi

Specifically, you need to employ some /isvalidresponse trickery. See e.g. https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost15812.aspx and https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost16752.aspx for examples. The trick is to consider the response invalid (false), yet store it in a variable (a <values> entry logged to the data file).
