Hi everyone, I have just started using PsychoPy and I’m not very familiar with how to do things. I am encountering a problem and maybe some of you could explain how to address it.

I am working on an experiment (sentence-picture matching task). Participants should hear a sentence recorded and automatically after that finishes three images should appear on screen. I have correctly inserted the sound routine and the images, but I can’t find a way to tell PsychoPy to make the images appear automatically when the audio finishes. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thank you! 🙂

Hello @Ludovica

Make the appearance of your pictures conditional on the status of your sound component.
