interrupt after 5 consecutive incorrect responses

  I think so, one of the variables that opensesame logs normally is "counts" -- I normally don't have incorrect responses so I don't know the exact variable but I would assume that it counts the incorrect responses and what you would need to implement somehow is to say if count_incorrect = 5 --> quit.

  Easiest way to find the variable you're looking for is to run a quick experiment and then check the logger

  Eva is right. To make it a little concrete, you can put an inline_script in your block sequence and put the following code in its run phase:

  # You need a variable that keeps track of the current trial count 
  if var.trial_no > 5: # make sure that at least 5 trials have passed 
      if sum(responses.correct[-5]) == 0:
          # code that will make your experiment halt. depending on what you want
          # there are different ways to implement it. Let me know what you want and
          # I can give you some advice
  

  This part of the documentation might also help: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.1/manual/python/responses/

  Hope this helps,
