Hi, this may be a silly question but is there a way to limit which keys on the keyboard will terminate an event.
Currently I have set the response keys to be A or B and the event termination settings to be:
End event only after criterion response
Event ending response any key
I was hoping that only one of the specified criterion responses (A or B) would end the trial.
Have I missed something basic? Setting a correct key only response also allows any key to terminate the trial. I’m using version 2.0 on Win XP.
Yes, I checked that. I’m going to set-up a new version from scratch and see if the problem remains. One of the reasons I wanted to avoid the correct response only setting for termination was that I wanted two input keys - Say “A” and “B”. One of these is the correct answer for a trial and would trigger a correct feedback trial - the other an incorrect feedback. However, Pressing either key should terminate the trial (and trigger the relevant feedback). This currently works such that if you press the correct answer it triggers the correct feedback. However, pressing any other key triggers an incorrect feedback (which would be the right thing to do) but allows scope for errors to be made (such as accidently pressing the wrong key). This is what I’m trying to avoid.
In SuperLab 4, the Mouse or Touch Screen input already contains an option to “Ignore a mouse click unless it falls inside an area defined as a response”. I have just opened a case in our internal tracking system to implement a similar option for keyboard input.
