RT on "moving" scales

[David McFarlane]

Soizic,

In general, the RT logged for a stimulus object corresponds to the 
time from the onset of the stimulus until the final or "terminating" 
response to that stimulus, while RTTime corresponds to the time from 
the start of the experiment session until the final or "terminating" 
response to that stimulus.

But in your specific case, you have some intervening inline code 
controlling the processing of subject responses, and in that case RT 
means whatever you programmed it to mean.  You just have to look at 
your custom program code and figure it out.
