Open answers in OS

jiro

Hi,

I am quite new to OS and I have a question. I would like to create a picture naming paradigm in OS. I would like the participants to type the name of the picture they see on the screen and I would like OS to log their answer and the time they at which they start typing. Is there a way in which I can create a text box on a sketchpath in which the participants can type their answer, which will then be logged (both answer and timing) by OS?

Thank you in advance!

Hi @jiro ,

Thanks for your interest in OpenSesame! :)

First question: will you be running your experiment online or locally?

Cheers,

Hi,

in this case you can't use Opensesame text_input form (which was created for that purpose), but you have to use inline_javascript. Luckily there are some code snippets flying around the forum. See for example:

• https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/6499/osweb-logging-multi-character-input
• https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/5876/collecting-multiple-character-input-in-osweb-e-g-student-numbers

Hope this helps,

Eduard
