How to timestamp the Spacebar multiple times per slide within a free recall paradigm

[David McFarlane]

Start with the MultipleResponseCollection.es example that you may 
download from the PST website.  That will introduce you to 
InputMask.Responses, and you may look at that topic in the E-Basic 
Help facility for more information.

That will get you timestamps for *every* keystroke, including the 
spacebar.  You could then write code to log only the spacebar times, 
or go ahead and log everything and then pull out just what you want 
later, or log every keystroke *plus* times when they press space, 
it's all up to you.

BTW, in case you or anyone then wants to decode all the {key} 
nomenclature into normal characters, see the "KeyCodeMap" program at 
http://step.psy.cmu.edu/scripts-plus .

Hope that helps,

take any and all questions at https://support.pstnet.com , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours, so make full use of 
it.  3) In addition, PST offers several instructional videos on their 
YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET ).  4) If you do 
get an answer from PST staff, please extend the courtesy of posting 
their reply back here for the sake of others.
