Hi
I hope all is going well?

I had a very small query regarding Inquisit's N-Back Task. The script attached is derived from the library's own, with only minor changes (mainly instructional slide format).

I would like to simply remove the practice block so participants dive straight in. Thus, in the script attached, I have taken out the practice block in the <expt>. However, when indeed the main task ('s_ntask') begins, there appears  'this is your target' (with a letter) cue, even though this should only appear for zero-n back blocks -  yet it is always there at the very start (even for 1 back, 2 back, 3 back when it should not be). Having said that, it only happens at the very start - further into task it does not appear again at the beginning of subsequent blocks. I have really tried to tease out how to eliminate this, and I know it is probably some very minor alteration, but I cannot find out how unfortunately. I was wondering whether there could be something you may spot more easily than myself to prevent this from showing.

I attach a compressed file with the N-back + instructional jpg slides.


Many Thanks in advance
Yours Sincerely
Anthony
