Hi Inquisit,

I am running an experiment requiring participants to respond to a succession of videos. There are six blocks in total. For some reason, the experiment lags heavily or freezes roughly one third of the way through the final block each time I run it.

This appears to be the case when I run the script from Inquisit, when I run the monkey, when I run the experiment from the weblink (I'm using a Mac, IOS Mojave 10.4), and when I run the experiment from another computer via the weblink (OSX Yosemite 10.10.5). I am running the most current version of Inquisit.

When I run each block individually via Inquisit, there are no problems. It seems to happen only when the full experiment is run. The errors do not appear to be occurring at consistent events. Blocks are presented randomly, and so the problematic sixth block is different every time. Further, the trial number wherein the freeze occurs is different each time.

Could this be a problem with cumulative information build-up? Does freezing typically occur with experiments with a high number of videos?

I have attached the link so you can access the script:

Many thanks,
