Remarks

The slidertrial element controls the timing and the content of stimulus presentation as well as how responses are obtained. Every time a slidertrial element is executed, a line of data is written to the raw data file.

The respondent can advance past this trial by placing the slider and hitting ENTER or clicking the response button if response input is set to mouse.

Examples

The following sliderTrial defines a 10-interval sliding scale with the two anchors 'not at all' and 'extrememly'. The width of the scale is set to 50% of the canvas width.

<sliderTrial mySlider>
/ labels = ("not at all", "extremely")
/ buttonLabel = "submit"
/ increment = 10
/ size = (50%,null)
</sliderTrial>
