Group: Forum Members Posts: 11, Visits: 11	I'd like to present some text on the screen for a minimum duration of 3 minutes, but longer if no response has been made (I want my participants to take a break of at least 3 minutes but longer if they need to; if the experimenter presses a key during the first 3 minutes to indicate the participant is ready, the trial should wait until 3 minutes have elapsed before terminating, but if not it should wait for the response before terminating). I can see a few ways to set a maximum duration but no obvious way to set a minimum duration. Is there an easy way to do this that I'm missing? Thanks!

Yes, you can do the following: <trial wait> / stimulustimes = [0=waittext; 180000=waittext] / beginresponsetime = 0 / responseinterrupt = frames / validresponse = (57) </trial>
