Hello,
I am trying to create a distraction task where the respondent will look at a word scramble and search for words for 2 minutes. I want the program to allow for the respondent to enter responses and then have those responses pop up on the screen. Here is what has been written so far:
<block search1>
/trials = [1= searchinstructions; 2=search]
</block>
<item instructions>
/ 1 = "You have two minutes to find as many words as you can in this grid.
~rType the words that you find into the box below the grid and hit 'Enter'.
~rWords may appear horizontally, vertically or along the diagonals.
~rPress spacebar to continue."
</item>
<text instructionstxt>
/ items = instructions
/ size = (95%, 95%)
/fontstyle = ("Arial", 16pt, false)
/vposition = (70%)
</text>
<picture word1>
/items = ("wordsearch1.jpg")
/position = (50, 40)
</picture>
<openended search>
/ stimulusframes = [1=word1]
/timeout = 120000
/inputdevice = keyboard
/position = (50, 90)
/linelength = 100
/numlines = 10
/multiline = true
</openended>
<trial searchinstructions>
/stimulusframes = [1=instructionstxt]
/ validresponse = (" ")
/responsetime = 1000
</trial>
Here is the word search:
I'm trying to use the openended trial because it has a text box for use.
The issues I have with it is that pressing enter ends the trial, as well
as the inability to post responses on the trial page.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. As always, I apologize for my lack of knowledge with Inquisit. Being thrown into this project blind really stresses one out.
Take care all. Thanks again for any ideas.
Best,
Joe
