+xDear Inquisit Community
My task is: participants started moving the mouse to click somewhere on the screen after clicking "A".
I recorded when the mouse started moving using "mousemove" by using "branch" to connect two trials (mousemove and click).
Is there another way to record the "mousemove" latency without separating into two trial?
? Because I wanted to avoid extra delays between trial initiation.
thank you in advance;)
You can use /isvalidresponse logic:
<data>
/ columns=[subject, blockcode, trialcode, trialnum, trialduration,trialtimeout,latency, response,
values.mm_rt trial.tap.responsex,trial.tap.responsey,stimulusitem, stimulusnumber, stimulusitem, stimulusnumber]
/ separatefiles = true
</data>
<values>
/ ax=960
/ by=600
/ count = 0
/ mm_rt = -1
</values>
<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-20=start]

</block>
<shape pencil>
/ shape = circle
/ color = black
/ size = (.5%, .5%)
</shape>
<trial start>
/ ontrialbegin = [
values.count = 0;
values.mm_rt = -1;
]
/ validresponse = (start)
/ stimulustimes = [0=screen,start]
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ responseinterrupt = immediate
/ branch = [if (trial.start.response=="start") trial.tap]
</trial>
<text mouseposition>
/ items= ("mouse xy position = <% trial.tap.responsex %><% trial.tap.responsey %>")
/ position = (50,80)
</text>

</text>
<trial tap>
/ ontrialbegin = [
values.count += 1;
]
/ validresponse = (lbuttondown, mousemove)
/ stimulustimes = [0=screen]
/ isvalidresponse = [
if (trial.tap.response == "mousemove" && values.count == 1) {
values.mm_rt = trial.tap.latency; values.count += 1; false;
} else if (trial.tap.response == "mousemove" && values.count > 1) {
false;
} else true;
]
/ inputdevice = mouse

trial.end
]
</trial>
<trial end>
/ stimulustimes = [0=clearscreen, mouseposition, mouseinitialtime, clicktime]
