I want to measure the time it takes them to push the first key in their keyboard (any key). In other words, I want to measure when they start typing. Is there a way to do that? Thanks! You can do that with an <openended> trial. The openended's firstcharlatency property reflects the time of the first key stroke. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/current/html/language/elements/openended.htm <block exampleBlock> / postinstructions = (page.end) / trials = [1=exampleOpenended] </block> <openended exampleOpenended> / stimulusframes = [1=text.exampleText] / multiline = true / size = (50%, 40%) / position = (50%, 60%) </openended> <text exampleText> / items = ("Type something:") / position = (50%, 10%) </text> <page end> ^Latency of first key stroke: <%openended.exampleOpenended.firstcharlatency%> ^Latency of last key stroke: <%openended.exampleOpenended.lastcharlatency%> ^Latency of response submission: <%openended.exampleOpenended.latency%> </page>
