Conditional cumulative feedback, help.

[Peter Quain]

perhaps something like this (rough example) would work? ... go to 
User Tab in script, and create global variables -

Dim intTotalScore, intTrialScore  as integer

... then in inline at start of TrialProcedure -

intTrialScore = 0

... and in an inline wherever in the trial procedure you assign the 
values that your feedback presents (or at the end of the trial sequence) -

intTtrialScore = [whatever the score is for that trial]
intTotalScore = intTotalScore + intTtrialScore
