 This article applies to:

Detail
This sample demonstrates the methods necessary to vary the duration of an object based on the participant's responses to previous trials.
 
Abstract
The nDuration variable is declared globally in the User Script. This makes the variable available over the course of the entire experiment, and allows information from previous trials to be used during the current trial.

 
At the end of each trial, the subject's accuracy is assessed, and the nDuration variable is then adjusted to reflect the subject's performance. At the start of the trial, the value of nDuration is assigned to an attribute that is referenced in the 'Stimulus' object's Duration property.
