Stimulus remains on screen

    Stimulus remains on screen

    Hi there,

    I am using DirectRT to create an experiment that records the reading time for each line of a short story. I am wondering if there is a way to keep each line of the story on the same screen? And have each line come up as the participant presses the space bar. We think it will easier for participants if they can see the whole story at the end.

    Thank you!

    This would be easiest through a single trial with multiple screens. Each sentence would require that its contents, locations, and RT specifications are located within a different stim,loc,time batch.

    Make sure that the location columns clear value for each batch contains a value of 0, this way the screen doesn't clear itself each time a new sentence is displayed.

    Does this make sense?
