make a screen which is shown for a while then skip to next screen (case 25177)

[iasiw99]

Hi,
I'm making some iterated decision making situation through medialab.
I'm going to tell my participant that he is really interacting with another participant through internet server,
but actually he will get prearranged and specific feedback of his decision making.

I want to make participant to REALLY believe that he is interacting with real person.

So I'm going to make a loading screen which is telling that the server is gathering all choices of participants.
How can I make a screen which is going to be shown to participant for a while
then immediately skip to the next page(feedback screen)?
And I also want to know is it possible to regulate showing time.

Thank you. English isn't my native language...sorry for the poor writing.

MediaLab can display a screen for a predetermined number of seconds using the duration parameter. You can find more information about it here in the MediaLab manual:

You can try using it as part of an item like the instruction item type to present information such as your feedback screen and any other screens prior to that feedback screen. You can find more information about the instruction screen here in the MediaLab manual:
