Ohhhhhhh, now it’s clear. So, whenever we code and print things, they’ll take time, ok. The difference is that with presetting the time (4000ms) then we know for sure that the role thing lasted for 4000, using the VAR option, I’d have to say something as such “the trials lasted aproximately 4000 ms”, right? Does it also make a difference in computing the reaction time afterwards ? I mean, I’m currently doing this in R => Key Element EventTime – Canvas EventTime = “how long it took for my participant to press the key”
Would that be the same in both methods?
