FAQ #6 - timeout duration vs trial duration - AshMcD - 01-24-2023
Q: When should I use timeout duration vs. trial duration?
A: When you are trying to do a speeded task where participants must respond within X number of seconds depending on the trial, the recommended approach is set a timeout duration on the choice response rather than on the trial. Trial durations are usually only a good idea for training trials, where no responses are needed.
