Hi there,

I have a question about the way that responses are saved on different devices. For example, we are administering the n-back task. If participants are using a touchscreen device, presumably they need to then 'touch' the relevant key (such as 'A' for a target, 'space' to proceed, etc.). However, what happens if a participant is using a desktop computer, or a laptop that has a touchscreen capability as well, and uses the mouse to click the 'A', 'space', etc? Will their responses to the n-back still be recorded, or is it necessary to press the key 'A' to record the response? Thank you!
