Hello,
we are having on odd issue with the openended trial element. we would like to code the answers as correct/incorrect and the script will do this just fine if we have participants click on the button to advance (i.e. using / mouse = true). however, there are a lot of trials and i would like them to be able to simply press enter to advance. The problem is that if the text screen is > 1 line, then inquisit does not code any valid answers as correct. It seems to add the return into their response or something. If I change it so that / numlines = 1, then the program will code correct/incorrect appropriately, but i get this weird 'bloop' sound every time I hit enter! It sounds like an error-type signal... but i get it for ALL responses. Note: I do not get this weird sound if / numlines = 2. There is an example of a trial below, in case that helps.
Has anyone encountered this and if so, can you please advise?
Many thanks,
~Kim
