If you use standard instruction pages (<page> or <htmlpage> elements) displayed via /pre- and /postinstructions attributes, you can configure a minimum period via the <instruct> element's /wait attribute. The /wait attribute determines how long in milliseconds to wait before allowing the subject to move to the next instruction page. Thus specifying
<instruct>
...
/ wait = 8000
...
</instruct>
in your script will enforce a minimum display time of 8 seconds for any instruction page. Only then are participants able to move on to the next.
If, on the other hand, you intend to display your instructions via standard <trial> elements, you can use the <trial>'s /beginresponsetime attribute to enforce the minimum
<trial instructionstrial>
...
/ validresponse = (57)
/ beginresponsetime = 8000
</trial>
or alternatively using /isvalidresponse
<trial instructionstrial>
...
/ validresponse = (57)
/ isvalidresponse = [trial.instructionstrial.latency >= 8000]
</trial>
