Basic Reaction Time: Nested Lists
The NestingRT experiment illustrates a simple reaction time experiment presenting a fixation and
a text stimulus, and collecting a response to the stimulus. The NestingRT experiment illustrates
the use of nested List objects and the colon syntax to sample stimuli from more than one List
during the same trial, and sample multiple stimuli from the same List during a single trial.
The TrialList defines the variables to be used within the experiment as attributes, and the levels
for the attributes. The NestingRT experiment uses the Stim1 and Stim2 attributes to display
words and non-words simultaneously. The CorrectAnswer attribute is used to score the input
collected in response to the Stimulus display, and provide feedback via the Feedback object.
