hey,

we try to use this test in inquisit 4. but we are not able to transfer it from inquit 5 to 4 so that it works.
Is there any way anyone knows what the problem might be?

thank you (dave^^)

Inquisit 4 syntax has no <parameters> element, you need to use <values> instead.

<list> elements in Inquisit 4 don't have a mean property, so you need to use values and expressions to calculate averages.

/ columns attributes under Inquisit 4 require square brackets, i.e. /columns = [...]

There is no built-in clearscreen element in Inquisit 4, you need to define a <shape clearscreen> instead.

<shape clearscreen>
/ shape = rectangle
/ color = white
/ size = (100%, 100%)
/ erase = false
</shape>


There are no built-in drag and drop mechanics in so stuff like

*********************************************
Secret Swipe Stimuli: to end the script
*********************************************

<shape swipe>
/ shape = rectangle
/ color = black
/ position = (0%, 0%)
/ halign = left
/ valign = top
/ size = (20%*0.75, 20%)
/ dropsource = true
</shape>

<shape swipeTarget>
/ shape = rectangle
/ color = black
/ position = (100%, 100%)
/ halign = right
/ valign = bottom
/ size = (30%*0.75, 30%)
/ droptarget = true
</shape>

will not work and you need to get rid of that.

Inquisit 4 does not support mouse input in /posttrialsignal,

/ posttrialsignal = (mouse, homeButton)

so you need to find another solution for that, such as /branch'ing to a home trial that takes the click on the home button stimulus as the response.

And very obviously, you need to adjust /minimumversion in <defaults> if you want to ultimately run the script under Inquisit 4.
