Hello!!  
I’m trying to do a lexical decision task with two buttoms of response “p” and “a”. I would like that a feedback (a fixation cross) appeared when participant give a wrong answer. To do that, i’s tried in “begin routine” this code:

```auto
if resp.corr:
continueRoutine = FALSE

```

But when I try to run the experiment, every trial is followed by the feedback. I defined “correct answer” with the name of my correct answer in my file.xlsx. ($Corresp)

Thanks for your help

The second line would need to be indented: please be careful about showing indentation in your Python code, as it has meaning.

You need to describe your task implementation a bit more. Is this code in the “begin routine” tab of the feedback routine, which follows the question routine?

Hello @Michael. i put these codes in the feed-back routine which follow the trial. In this task, participant should determine if the Word presented in the screen is the real Word or not. The feed-back follow participant’s answer

- Did you specify that variable in the keyboard component?
- is the code you give above the _exact_ code you are using? Please cut and paste it rather than typing it from memory. For example in Python, it should be `False` rather than `FALSE`

What happens when you insert this (don’t keep these print statements in the final version of your experiment, they are just for temporary debugging):

```auto
print(Corresp)
print(resp.keys)
print(resp.corr)

if resp.corr:
    continueRoutine = False

```

Hello agai,  
I found the problem. I needed to write the code :

```auto
if(resp.keys == RepCorrecte):
    continueRoutine = False

Thanks!
```
