Hi, I am new to PsychoPy. I am building two experiments from the builder view but I am stuck with the following.
Experiment 1: sentence-picture matching task
After each trial (25 sentences to be matched to a picture), I want the participant to see a break screen with this message “Take a break! Press SPACE BAR when you’re ready to continue.”
The message correctly appears, but pressing the space bar doesn’t do anything and it becomes impossible to exit in any way.
In this routine (which I called breakScreen) I have a text component with the above text and a keyboard component with the following settings:
name: keySPACE
start $time 0.0
stop $duration blank
force end of routine checked
register keypress on press
allowed keys $ ‘space’ constant
Experiment 2: grammaticality judgement task
Participants should see on the screen of the trial a sentence written down (text component), and two buttons (yes and no). Everything displays correctly but the mouse cursor is not visible and it is impossible to click on either button. These are the mouse component settings I have:
name: mouseResponse
start $time
stop $duration blank
end routing on press valid click
new clicks only unchecked
clickable stimuli $yesButton, noButton
save mouse state on click
time relative to mouse onset
store params for clicked $name,
save onset/offset times checked
store correct checked
correct answer $correct_answer
I hope I’ve explained well but I can provide more details. Can you help me understand what the issues are. Thank you to anyone who can help me!
