Cursors

Hello, may i ask.

In an experimental task about examining for the right answer amongst 3, what does "cursor x" and 'cursor y" mean?

Also, "NA" is for "no answer"?

Thank you,

Hi Minos,

In an experimental task about examining for the right answer amongst 3, what does "cursor x" and 'cursor y" mean?

These variables refer to the coordinates of the mouse cursor at the moment that a mouse click was registered. See also:

Also, "NA" is for "no answer"?

Sort of. It indicates that OpenSesame knows that this variable should exist, but it hasn't been defined yet. So for example you will get this if the logger is executed for the first time before a response has been collected.

Cheers!
