David, thanks for the response. I thought of this solution as well, but I cannot use caps lock because the + and = would not work properly as they are on the same key. <br><br>On Monday, April 15, 2013 2:14:53 PM UTC-4, McFarlane, David wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">If all your letter responses are upper-case, why not just use Caps
<br>Lock so that subjects do not have to press Shift?

<br>>Hello all,
<br>>
<br>>Thank you for your advice in advance. To introduce myself, I use
<br>>EPrime to develop my experiments because I have no experience coding
<br>>(a shame I know), so please keep that in mind when responding. So
<br>>far, I have only used the built in functions of EPrime.
<br>>
<br>>My Experiment: I have developed an experiment where participants see
<br>>a stimuli and participants are expected to answer using a series of
<br>>(capital) X, I, V, or -, +, and =. (For example: X=V+I) The
<br>>participants have 2 minutes to come up with correct answer and they
<br>>may try as many answers as they would like until they find the
<br>>correct one. I have set the experiment up where if the participant
<br>>enters an answer and it is incorrect they cannot continue but if
<br>>they enter the correct response they will receive feedback that they
<br>>are correct and can continue to the next puzzle.
<br>>
<br>>My Problem: I cannot get Eprime to recognize the correct response
<br>>(for example: X=V+I) because when participants capitalize their
<br>>responses EPrime records {SHIFT}. I have tried making the correct
<br>>response {SHIFT}X{=}{SHIFT}V{+}{SHIFT}<wbr>I. This method is not reliable
<br>>because participants hit shift a variable number of times (when
<br>>making mistakes, etc.) so there is no way for me to predict the
<br>>number of shifts in their answer.
<br>>
<br>>Please let me know if you need additional information in order to help me.
