The responseframe attribute specifies the stimulus frame number at which Inquisit begins recognizing responses.

Applies to

<trial> <likert> <openended> <namingtrial>

Syntax

Parameters

integer

An non-negative integer value expressing the frame number at which Inquisit begins recognizing responses.

Remarks

The responseframe attribute is useful for tasks that allow subjects to respond as stimuli are presented on the screen. By default, Inquisit recognizes responses that occur after the stimulus presentation sequence, and responses given during the presentation are ignored.

Examples

The following trial presents a sequence of stimuli, allowing the subject to respond at any point during the sequence:

<trial mytrial>
/ stimulusframes = [0=sometext1; 10=sometext2; 20=sometext3; 30=sometext4; 40=sometext5]
/ responseframe = 0
/ validresponse = (" ")
</trial>

The following trial presents a sequence of stimuli, allowing the subject to respond at any point after the 3rd stimulus is presented but not before:

<trial mytrial>
/ stimulusframes = [0=sometext1; 10=sometext2; 20=sometext3; 30=sometext4; 40=sometext5]
/ responseframe = 20
/ validresponse = (" ")
</trial>
