Response time in multiple choice form in Open sesame

Sarinatries

Hi all!

I`m using open sesame for my M.A. thesis in Linguistics. Specifically, I am showing a sentence, then a comprehension question and then, the options are shown in a multiple-choice form. The participants are asked to respond by choosing one of the 4 options.

When trying it, the CVS file tells me which option was chosen, but it is also crucial to know the response time. This variable seems to exist in the CVS file under time_experimental_form but the data just shows NA.

Does anyone know how it could be possible to track the response AND the response time?

Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

So as an update, I was not able to find an answer to that exact question, but I created a form_base instead and it seems to give me some data in time_form_base. THATS GOOD!

However, I have no idea what these numbers mean. the first two numbers are 19966.426899 and 35256.8846. Those could not be milliseconds. So what are they? Then, the numbers keep increasing with each row.

I need to see the time (in milliseconds) that is required for each item in the form_base. Is this possible?

Thank you so much!

If you're seeing this, I published another discussion with both messages together for clarity. Thank you for your help!
