Hi, 

I am programming a modified IAT test and I was wondering how I can make the trials to be moved on to the next one even the response is incorrect.
Currently, I am using the "responsemode = correct" in the block, and it seems like each trial wouldn't end until the respondent submits the correct response. 

Thank you in advance!

Yes, that's the intended behavior. If you don't want this, remove the /responsemode attributes from the <block> elements. Note, though, that this will invalidate the D-scores the script calculates. Those scores assume a built-in error penalty, which comes from the fact that people have to correct an intially wrong response to move on.

You'll have to calculate some other D-score variant from the raw data you collect ( see Greenwald et al. 2003 for details; https://faculty.washington.edu/agg/pdf/GB&N.JPSP.2003.pdf ).
