+xHi!
So i'm just starting to learn Inquisit, and i'm trying to modify PASAT so an error sound will be continuously presented until a correct response is given. Is there anyway i can do this? Any help is really appreciated
Thank you so much.
Best regards,
Alvin
Yes, you can do this by modifying the respective <trial> element(s) that take the response like so:
<trial test>
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ ontrialbegin =
[
values.prevDigit = values.currentDigit;
values.currentDigit = list.number.nextvalue;
values.currentSum = format("%i", values.prevDigit + values.currentDigit);
]
/ stimulusframes = [1=numbers,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
/ validresponse = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
/ correctresponse = (values.currentSum)
/ response = correct/ errormessage = (errorsound, 500)/ branch = [if (trial.test.count < values.totalTrials) trial.test]
</trial>
<video errorsound>
/ items = ("error.mp3")
/ loop = true
</video>
Note, however, that modifying the the task like that essentially eliminates the "paced" nature of the procedure.
The above is the modification for the test block / part of the PASAT, but modifying the practice part works the same way (just change <trial practice> instead of <trial test>).
