Clearing mouse and keyboard click buffers in back-to-back routines in a loop

(imagine that they both say “key_resp”).

You can’t have two keyboard responses with the same name, so I’m not sure what you are explaining here. For keyboard responses there is an option to discard previous key presses, so the .5 second delay shouldn’t be needed (irrespective of whether you have sequential routines with different names or a loop re-presenting the same routine). If you use event.getKeys(), which is no longer recommended, then you need to use code to discard key presses prior to the routine.

Wakefield's Daily Tips

Use keyboard components instead of event.getKeys() The keyboard component in PsychoPy Builder uses the Keyboard class, which has better timing than the older event module. If you want to identify whether a key has been pressed in Each Frame then code of the form keys = event.getKeys() can be replaced with keys = [] if key_resp.keys: # Keyboard component should store all keys and not force the end of the routine if len(key_resp.keys) > nKeys: # Add nKeys = 0 in Begin Routine keys =…
