What are you trying to achieve?:
I am trying to design an fMRI task with rating videos. Subjects are expected to rate the videos in 5s. If their exact reaction time is 3s, then a black screen will show in the next 2s; if there is no response in 5s, the scaler will disappear, and the last position will be recorded.
I have tried to set the maxTime =5, and the scaler does disappear after 5s if no response.
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
While if I give a response less than 5s, the task will directly go to the next trial. How to let the screen stay black so the total rating time will be 5s?
And I don’t know how to record the last position if the subject doesn’t give a response in 5s.
Hi @Vicky, to get a blank screen after a fast rating (<=3), you can conditionally present another routine that is blank if the response is <= 3seconds. Otherwise, the blank routine is skipped. Here is an example attached, but it uses the new Slider object, which is easier to use and customise than the Rating Scale.

I changed the rating example based on the requirement of my experiment. Subjects are expected to rate the videos in 5s. Once the rating finished, the scaler will disappear, and a blank screen will show up. rating time + blank screen = 5s. and the last position will be recorded if the subject doesn’t give their reaction in 5 s.
