For my current task I need to ask people if they recognize faces from the media. The way I want to set up the task is that they see one picture on screen, and two answer option ("I DO recognize this face" and "I DO NOT recognize this face").

The way I have set up the script is by creating Likert-type trials with the picture on the position where normally there would be a question. However, when I run the script the participant can choose out of 5 options (being 1 = "I DO recognize this face" 2= "I DO NOT recognize this face" 3 = " " 4 = " " 5 = " "). I can't find out how to reduce the number of Likert options to 2. 

Does anyone know how to do this?


It might be relevant that after the "recognition task" the participants need to rate the faces on attractiveness on a 5-point Likert scale.

Thanks again for your time and effort!
