inquisituser22 - 10/5/2021

Hello,
After pausing data collection with our Inquisit Lab experiment due to the pandemic, we are considering starting again but with Inquisit Web instead. I made the necessary changes to convert from Inquisit 5 to Inquisit 6, but one issue I am noticing (in both 5 and 6) is that where participants are supposed to fill in a missing letter, instead the correct letter is being displayed! Is there a way with Inquisit Web for participants to have all letters of the alphabet available to them, not only the correct response? Screenshot attached, and here is our experiment launch link:

Thank you for any guidance

Which response options are available is determined by /validresponse. Defining all letters of the alphabet , i.e. 26 options, will not look well on touch-input devices. You'll be better served by collecting the letter response per an <openended> element instead of a regular <trial>.

Thank you for the quick reply! For this type of trial I actually have "correctresponse" instead of "validresponse" as shown below. 

<trial practicescenarios2>
/ stimulusframes = [1=practicescenarios2, reminder1]
/ correctresponse = ("i")
/ responsetrial = ("i", compquestionpracticescenarios2)
/ errormessage = true(error, 200)
/ response = correct </trial>

If you would still recommend the <openended> element, would that be something like this:

<openended practicescenarios2>
/ stimulusframes=[1=practicescenarios2, reminder1]
/ correctresponse=("i")
/ errormessage = true(error, 200)
</openended>

Thanks again!

There is no instead. /validresponse defines the available response options. /correctresponse defines which of those are correct. I.e. suppose you wanted to offer all vowels in the alphabet as options, then

<trial practicescenarios2>
/ stimulusframes = [1=practicescenarios2, reminder1]
/ validresponse = ("a", "e", "i", "o", "u")
/ correctresponse = ("i")
/ responsetrial = ("i", compquestionpracticescenarios2)

Thank you so much for this example, very helpful. It looks like you might be on a device with a large screen like an iPad? I'm testing with an iPhone 11 and the response option issue is definitely alleviated, but the only issue now is that it seems cumbersome for participants as it default to opening the keyboard immediately, which takes up half the screen so you can't read the paragraph anymore. Would there be a way for both to remain visible (keyboard and paragraph of text)? Attached screenshot of the same screen you have in your screenshot.

Thanks again

The screenshot is from a Samsung phone with less screen estate than most iPhones.

Well, you have to design for it, i.e. adjust sizes and positions of the various elements involved as needed.

Well, you have to design for it, i.e. adjust sizes and positions of the various elements involved as needed.

If you want to, you can also delay the time when the on-screen keyboard pops up and the openended starts accepting responses per /beginresponsetime. E.g. if you wanted to give participants 5 seconds to read the paragraph before they can answer, you would do something like

<openended practicescenarios1>
/ stimulusframes = [1=practicescenarios1, reminder1]
/ beginresponsetime = 5000
/ mask = alphabetic
/ charlimit = 1
/ size = (5%, 5%)
/ position = (50%, 95%)
/ correctresponse = ("a")
/ responsetrial = ("a", compquestionpracticescenarios1)
/ errormessage = true(error, 200)
/ response = correct
</openended>

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

Hello,
We have now adjusted sizes and positions on our task so that it is appropriate for Inquisit Web with different devices vs Inquisit Lab with computer only. However, we are receiving feedback from test participants that the keyboard feature for open ended questions is not ideal because they can no longer reference what they read above the keyboard, which reminds them of how to answer.

Instead of shifting the focus of the screen down to the keyboard, is it possible to allow for both the text above with the openended prompt and the keyboard to be displayed simultaneously? Here is our current code. Thank you!
