[open] Set a duration for forms (form base)?

beau

Hello OpenSesamers,

I intend to present both pictures and text for a limited period of time. I want to use a form base instead of a sketchpad for text wrapping. However, "set duration" does not seem to work for forms - the display never ends. Any advice for presenting images and wrapped text?

Merry Christmas,
Bo

Hi Bo,

Forms do not currently timeouts (but see #142). But if you just want to use a form to present stimuli, you could use a non-interactive form, by adding the following line of script:

set only_render yes

Then you can simply use a keyboard_response or a mouse_response (with timeout) to collect your response.

Hope this helps. And Merry Christmas to you too!

Cheers,
Sebastiaan
