Min-max values being ignored

[jsmith11]

Hello,

I have a question about DirectRT. I am trying to set the minmax values so that participants skip to the next trial after 45s. I've tried setting it at: "0-45000!", "1-45000!", "0-45000!!", and a few other values.

The link to the .zip file in this thread doesn't work.

Thanks!

Hm. What version of the software are you running? You may be able to fix this problem by simply reinstalling with a more recent release of the version you have.

I'm having trouble getting this go-no-go task to continue after no response. Each trial needs to be a fixed total of 2250ms (the stimulus is presented for 750ms with an extra 1500ms for responding). The participants are allowed to respond using the spacebar at any point during the trial's 2250ms.

Hi kanichols2!

I took a look at your documents but could not open the styles .drt file that you uploaded; it contained no values. Could you please try uploading it again to the fourm? If that doesn't work, please attempt to send the file directly to me at support@empirisoft.com.

Cheers.

Jason

Jason,

I appreciate you taking a look at my files. If there's still a problem opening the style .drt file, I'll email it to you.

Can you please briefly describe the go/no go task you are trying to build? That is, what kind of action are particpants supposed to take for the red and green circles? I got all your files and they run on my machine, but knowing some context would help me troubleshoot.

Thanks!

Jason

For this go/no-go task, we want participants to respond by pressing the space bar when presented with the green circle. Meanwhile, participants are supposed to refrain from making any button presses (no response) when presented with the red circle. However, if participants press the spacebar during a red circle trial, the response should still be recorded.
