Hello,

Our lab is trying to write up a program for the IAT, and we want to give feedback ONLY when the response was incorrect. We have tried using the feedback slide and writing new inline code, but neither seems to be working.

We currently have something like this:

If Stimulus.ACC = 0 Then
   Feedback.ActiveState = "Incorrect"
Else
   If Stimulus.RT <> 0 Then
      Feedback.ActiveState = ""
   Else
      Feedback.ActiveState = ""
   End If
End If


Thank you!

Um, could you please be more specific about what "not working" means here?

Hello Dr. McFarlane,

Thank you for your response! The problem is that when we set up a feedback slide, it appears for both correct AND incorrect responses.

What we specifically want to do is this:
- ONLY provide feedback on incorrect trials
- Feedback screen stays on following incorrect trial UNTIL subject hits the button for the correct answer
- Correct trials go directly to the next trial.

The version that we have right now is not built with inline code and gives no feedback but runs. We have 1 slide with 1 list containing 7 blockprocs. Each blockproc contains a list (calling stimuli) and a text display (instructions).

Best,
Audrey

Audrey,

OK, then look at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/Liej8Ik83sU ,
and follow all the links in that thread, and see if any of that applies
to you.

Best,
