Rachael,


You are spot on with your read on DirectRT's features. You could use the !meta column placed between the trial and bgr columns of your input file to tell DirectRT to jump to a particular trial after a certain number of milliseconds have passed in the current trial. If you wanted DirectRT to move to the adjacent trial, you could just use the automatic continuation feature of the DirectRT Styles file. Just put 0-xxxx!,where xxxx is the maximum number of milliseconds you want for that trial-in the MinMax field of the row your Styles file that corresponds to the style code for the trial in your input file with the open-ended response. You can also just put the Styles file in the same folder as the DirectRT input file if you wanted to create one specific to that input file.
