Record response regardless of whether it during stimulus presentation or after

Hi,

I want to display target words on the screen but for only a short period of time. Participants will be asked to respond to the target word by pressing one of two keys. However, I don’t want them to have to wait until the word has disappeared from the screen before responding.

To achieve this I would need to be able to record a response either while the word is still on the screen or, if no response was made in that interval, wait on blank screen for a response.

Is that possible?

Thanks.

Since you want your events to collect responses while the stimulus is up and after it is masked, you have to make sure SuperLab does not ask for a response. You can do this by using the Feedback option under the Event Editor. Have a feedback for a correct response and an incorrect response. Then, under the What to Do section for both the incorrect and correct responses have it “Skip any remaining events and present next trial”.
