Hi,
I'm part of a study group that needs to set up a verbal learning test on inquisit. We are all unfamiliar with programming so we are kind of lost.
The task is pretty easy. 30 words are presented each 1000ms with a 2000ms break in between the words. There is no response or reaction. So this is what we got so far:

<text VLT>
/ items = ("WHEAT","" ,"NOOK", "" , "BAD", "" , "CLAIM","", "RAW","","CORPSE", "", "HUGE", "", "WEAL", "", "CAKE", "", "NEW" , "",
"GAIN", "", "SORE", "", "SMUT", "", "FOLK", "", "DIRT", "", "CRIB", "", "THICK", "","NEED","", "ZONE", "", "SOFT","", "PURE", "", "JEST", "", "FEAR", "", "GLANCE", "", "STRAND", "", "FINE", "", "BEAST", "", "MONTH")
/ select = sequence
</text>


I guess, this is not the most convenient way to set this up, but at least the words are presented in the right order with a blank stimulus in between. The problem is, that now the participant had to press a key for the next word to show up, but we want to fix the duration. So we want to figure out how the words are presented for 1000ms and the blank stimuli for 2000ms. So once the participant starts the trial it should run automatically from the first to the last word.

So, if you are not insulted by the simplicity of this task, we would be super grateful if you could help us.
