Group: Forum Members Posts: 11, Visits: 94	I am trying to introduce an artificial delay in the experiment to appear as the opponent in the game is making a decision. I tried to use posttrialpause on my surveypage element, but when I try to run the experiment, it get "posttrialpause is not a valid attribute". Why could that be? Also, is there a way to display text for a short period without requiring the participant to respond? Ideally I'd like to show a text like "A moment, please" during the pause, which then goes away and the next trial page is displayed. --tei

Those attributes only apply to standard <trial>, <openended> or <likert> elements as detailed in the documentation. You need to /branch to a standard <trial> that lasts for however long you want the artificial pause to be instead. > Also, is there a way to display text for a short period without requiring the participant to respond? Ideally I'd like to show a text like "A > moment, please" during the pause. Yes, of course. You simply do: <block someblock> / trials = [1=yourpage; ....] ... </block> <surveypage yourpage> .... / branch = [trial.waittrial] </surveypage> with <trial waittrial> / stimulusframes = [1=waitmessage] / validresponse = (0) / trialduration = 3000 </trial> <text waitmessage> / items = ("One moment please...") </text>
