Thanks @jesstheresearcher256
I changed the entire experiment. But now I have a new issue.
I have a loop with two routines — Order (mouse response) and Time (slider response). Each routine shows two images and some text.
I want each routine to be self-paced, ending immediately after a response, but with a maximum duration of 15 seconds.
I set the duration to 15s for all components (including mouse/slider), with “end routine on valid click” for the mouse and “force end of routine” for the slider.
Problem:
When I make a response, all stimuli disappear immediately, but the screen stays blank until the full 15 seconds pass.
Any idea why this happens or how to make the routine end right after a response without the blank delay?
Problem described in more detail here- Routine doesn't advance after mouse/slider response, forced end of routine enabled, duration fixed
