Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 22	I'm trying to teach older adults how to use a mouse by clicking on pictures and once they click on that image (the image only) to move on to the next block/image. However, I've been having issues where for example the second image just flashes and then disappears. I'm not sure why. Also, sometimes it doesn't show up when I enter different positions sometimes. <defaults> / screencolor = (255,255,255) / fontstyle = ("Arial", 20pt) /inputdevice = mousekey </defaults> <text instructions> / items = instructions / hjustify = center / size = (90%, 60%) / position = (50%, 90%) / valign = bottom / select = sequence </text> <trial instructions> / stimulustimes = [1=instructions] / validresponse = (elephant) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial> <trial instructions2> / stimulustimes = [1=instructions] / validresponse = (elephant2) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial> <trial instructions3> / stimulustimes = [1=instructions] / validresponse = (elephant3) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial> <picture elephant> / items = ("elephant.png") / position = (0, 0) / valign = top / halign = left / size = (20%, 20%) </picture> <picture elephant2> / items = ("elephant.png") /valign = bottom /halight = left /size = (20%, 20%) </picture> <block elephant> / bgstim = (elephant) / trials = [1 =instructions] / recorddata = false </block> <block elephant2> /bgstim = (elephant2) /trials = [1=instructions2] /recorddata = false </block> <item instructions> /1 = "Click on the image that you see on the screen." </item> <expt> / blocks = [1=elephant; 2=elephant2] / showmousecursor = true </expt>

Also, the image is aligned to the bottom. No /position is specified, i.e. the image gets drawn to the center of the screen and then then immediately overwritten by the instructions in the <trial>. Display the <picture>s by your <trial> elements instead of /bgstim and you can easily see this for yourself. <trial instructions2> / stimulustimes = [1=instructions, elephant2] / validresponse = (elephant2) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial> vs <trial instructions2> / stimulustimes = [1=elephant2, instructions] / validresponse = (elephant2) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial>

Group: Forum Members Posts: 5, Visits: 22	That fixed the flashing problem, but the picture is still on top of the instructions. Is there an easier way to get it to move the position. Is there a better position command? <defaucolor = (255,255,255) / fontstyle = ("Arial", 20pt) /inputdevice = mousekey </defaults> lts> / screen <text instructions> / items = instructions / hjustify = center / size = (90%, 60%) / position = (50%, 90%) / valign = bottom / select = sequence </text> <trial instructions> / stimulustimes = [1=instructions; 2= elephant] / validresponse = (elephant) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial> <trial instructions2> / stimulustimes = [1=instructions; 2=elephant2] / validresponse = (elephant2) /responseinterrupt = trial / errormessage = false / recorddata = false </trial> - <picture elephant> / items = ("elephant.png") / position = (0, 0) / valign = top / halign = left / size = (20%, 20%) </picture> <picture elephant2> / items = ("elephant.png") /valign = bottom /halign = left /size = (20%, 20%) </picture> <block elephant> / trials = [1 =instructions] / recorddata = false </block> <block elephant2> /bgstim = (elephant2) /trials = [1=instructions2] /recorddata = false </block> <item instructions> /1 = "Click on the image that you see on the screen." </item> <expt> / blocks = [1=elephant; 2=elephant2] / showmousecursor = true </expt>

Define its /position such that it does not overlap with the instructions.
