Feedback, responses and validations

Feedback means the correct or incorrect response displayed when a participant presses a key on their keyboard or clicks a mouse button. When the participant presses a key, the element will move onto the next one, regardless of the element's duration.

Response options include:

• Any keypress means that the experiment will move onto the next element when the participant presses any key on their keyboard.

• Nominated keypress means the experiment will move onto the next element when the participant presses the specified key(s) on their keyboard.

Feedback options include:

• Sound and visual feedback for correct responses. When a participant selects a correct answer, a green tick is shown and/or a 'correct' sound will play.

• Sound and visual feedback for incorrect responses. When a participant selects an incorrect answer, a red cross is shown and/or an 'error' sound will play.

Key validations include:

• Define whether a subject's response is given a tick or cross.

• Can be set for an element tag, name, text, or color.

The name used for a validation must use the file name for that element. Do not give the validation a different name. To add responses, feedback or key validations to a stimuli phase, click on the Settings button, then select Response.
