Hello,

I'm plannig to run an inquisit-experiment with elderly people (+75). To make responding as simply as possible for them, I would like to work with response boxes. What response boxes can you recommend me? I would prefer to work with response boxes with a simple design (I only need two answerpossibilities).

Thanks,

Ine

Hey Ine,

Are you using Inquisit 2 or Inquisit 3? If it's the latter, in the future, you should post in the Inquisit 3.0 subforum =)

There are a few options which can help you, but I think radiobuttons is the most elegant solution in your case. It is pretty straightforward. But you can compare the different possibilities with the script you can find below.

Good luck with your experiment!
