Hi Dave,Thank you for your response and let me try to be more specific. We are having children respond to the task verbally so want to show them what side of the screen associates with the correct answer, while the research assistants are going to be responding on the keyboard. Since it’s easier for RAs to press keys, I was hoping there was a way to program that. Thank you for your suggestion on editing the keyboard version. Is it possible to edit it from the mouse/touch version?

You can find a hybrid of the keyboard and touch versions attached below. Instructions are those from the touchscreen version. You'll have to adjust wording as needed. Navigating instructions is via the spacebar and the A & L keys. Practice and test trials look like those in the touchscreen version, but take keyboard input (A & L) keys.

For general background and so you can make further modifications yourself, please work through the Programmer's Manual ( https://www.millisecond.com/support/Inquisit%20Programmer's%20Manual.pdf ). Then work through the H & F task code untll you sufficiently understand how it works.

Hi Dave, Thank you! I am not able to view the mouse pointer on the screen at all now. Is it possible to just ve able to view the pointer (not use it)?

Yes, you can. Set showMouseCursor to true as needed.

Hi Dave! 
Thank you :). For all the test trials (not practice) in the hearts only, flower only, and heart and flower both conditions, will it be possible to not flash the blue buttons yellow when a key is pressed?

The "flashing" is implemented via the /responseMessage attributes in those trial elements. If you don't want flashing, remove those.

In general I would recommend you take some time to properly familairize yourself with the code. Work through the Programmer's Manual before you do so as background.
