Hi, I have written a script for a reversal learning task, but when I run the task the images don't come up on the screen. I can't work out what I have done wrong or what I need to change. This is my first time writing a script in Inquisit, so it could all be completely wrong. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have pasted the script below in case it is of help. Thank you.
<parameters> /showTotalPoints = true /leftKey = 30 /leftKeyLabel = "A" /rightKey = 38 /rightKeyLabel = "L" </parameters>
<instruct> / fontstyle = ("Arial" , 20pt) / nextlabel = "(Space)Press the spacebar to continue" / lastlabel = "(Space)Press the spacebar to continue" / inputdevice = keyboard </instruct>

<page practiceinstructions> ^^^^Before you begin the actual task, you will complete some practice items. ^^^^You will be asked to look at a series of facial expressions that will appear on either positive or negative backgrounds. ^^Press the "A" key when you see a HAPPY face. ^^But press the "L" key when you see an ANGRY face. ^^^^To begin the practice trial, press the spacebar </page>
<page begin> ^^^^The practice trial is now complete. Press the spacebar to begin the task. </page>
<page block_one_instructions> ^^^^Just like the practice items, you will be asked to look at a series of facial expressions that will appear on either positive or negative backgrounds. ^^Press the "A" key when you see a HAPPY face. ^^But press the "L" key when you see an ANGRY face. ^^To begin the task, press the spacebar. </page>
<page block_two_instructions> ^^^^You will now be asked to look at some more facial expressions that will appear on either positive or negative backgrounds. ^^This time, you need to press the "A" key you see a HAPPY face on a positive background. ^^and the "L" key when you see an ANGRY face on a negative background. ^^But, when you see a HAPPY face on a negative background OR an ANGRY face on a positive background, do not press anything. ^^To begin, press the spacebar. </page>
