Is there a simple way to display specific instructions on screen at the start of each block? I could kludge it by making a specific trial type with only a text label target and the instructions in there, but that would need to be in a separate block to avoid it being randomised into the other ‘real’ trials of that block.
Thanks for the help

Hi Peter,
I think what you have suggested – a separate block with a single trial – is a good way to go. Any other ideas I’m coming up with are far more hacky and difficult to manage. Using a separate block means you can have an easy to manage split in the logic of your stateflow code based on a TP table parameter – instruction trial vs work trial.
Is there a different way you’d like to see something like this work? We are always open to suggestions for new features.
Cheers!

replied 5 years ago As a slight extension of this, is there anyway of doing multi-line text labels? Either through ascii characters in the VCODE (I’ve been trying to use the dynamic text example and modify it) or the Dexterit-E target table? I could strategically place a few separate boxes if not.
