Logging multiple incorrect responses and their RT

[ben robinson]

if you expect only a small, finite number of incorrect responses, my
solution might be to add that many additional objects to the procedure
time-line, each one set up to collect responses, and each one set to Jump to
an End-Of-Trial Label once a correct response is made.
to use the Jump functionality of the response collecting objects isn't
always super intuitive.  you would add one keyboard Input Mask with
Allowable Responses set to your incorrect response possibilities and End
Action set to Terminate, and another keyboard Input Mask with only your
correct response included in the Allowable Responses with the End Action set
to Jump, then add the name of your End-Of-Trial Label to the Jump Label
field.
