fill-in-the-blank, message box (case 5459)

    fill-in-the-blank, message box (case 5459)

    hello~everyone,

    I have a problem about fill-in-the blank's message box.

    I want to design experiment. Let participant to read a number serial(ex.12345), then ask participant to recall and enter the number serial in the next page.

    I used several fill-in-the-blank (m*****,r12345) in the recall page.
    The problem is : When I enter the wrong answer, it will show message box that include the correct answer.

    How can I delete the correct answer in the message box?

    Try changing the item type to an essay question. That should prevent the box from showing up.

    You could also try using a password on a basic instruction item. e.g., by adding the "x" parameter such as (x12345). You could alter the wording by editing message #116 in the message.txt file (C:\MediaLab\Styles\messages.txt).
