Hi there,

I know a similar issue has been posted before, but the solutions I found don't seem to be working for me, so I apologize if this is redundant. 

When I make a valid response during my trial (during enc_response), the subsequent ISI/fixation disappears before it is supposed to. I believe the issue stems from trying to display a stimulus after the response within a given trial, is this not possible?

I have it set up such that there is a variable ISI duration at the end of the trial with a fixation cross, which is to appear after the response screen. Making a valid response is quitting my subsequent stimulus presentation (the fixation), but leaving the variable duration of the trial intact (just a white screen). 

I have ensured that erase = false for all stimuli, and that responseinterrupt=trial, so the stimuli should remain on screen for the duration of the trial. 

Just for context, I suspect having my variable ISI at the end of the trial may be the issue. I tried to make a variable ISI by using the ontrialbegin attribute previously as described in other threads but it wasn't working the way that I wanted it to, which we can revisit if this is indeed the issue. 

I've added the portions of my script that I believe are relevant below, I would really appreciate any advice!

Thanks!!
