question for eprime listserv

[Susanne karpick]

Hi,

I am trying to create a divided attention task where participants view
words on the screen (at a rate of 2 seconds per word) and also listen to a
string of digits (1 word per second) and press a button on the keyboard 
every time they hear 3 odd numbers in a row; with a warning to briefly 
interrupt the word
presentation if the participant misses a consecutive odd sequences.

Does anyone know how to incorporate these two tasks?  I have the words and 
sound files listed in a table.  Two soundout objects follow the table.  The 
soundout objects get the sound file names from the table.  I think I need 
inline after each sound out to check whether there was a keyboard response 
and whether the response is accurate or whether there was no response (which 
would be an incorrect response).  I am not sure how to do this, especially 
with the timing. Any suggestions?  Also, it doesn’t seem like the typical 
feedback object will suffice in this case.  Does anyone know how to create 
such a feedback command?

If anyone has any advice, I would be incredibly appreciative.

Thanks so much,
Susanne
