You can get plain RT using a global Var element in which you compute the time difference, like this:

newTrial("experimento",
  newText("*")
    .print()
  ,
  newKey(" ")
    .wait()
    .log("all")
    .disable()
  ,
  getText("*")
    .remove()
  ,
  newText(variable.oracion)
    .print()
  ,
  newVar("RT")
    .global()
    .set(v=>Date.now())
  ,
  newKey(" ")
    .wait()
    .log("all")
  ,
  getVar("RT")
    .set(v=>Date.now()-v)
  ,
  getText(variable.oracion)
    .remove()
)
.log( "ReadingTime" , getVar("RT") )

The timestamps correspond to the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970. They tell you when the event happened (e.g. 1595564332806 corresponds to July 24, 2020, 9:38am GMT-0400) but are most useful for subtraction, like we’re doing here. The expression Date.now() in the script above returns such timestamps.
