feedbackCorrect

Experiments

Caution

Legacy column. It still works in old experiments, but do not use it in new ones. Use feedback with feedbackOptions and key scoring instead.

Message shown when the participant’s response on this trial was scored CORRECT. This is the plain-text shortcut for the common case; it is equivalent to a correct: ... segment inside the feedback column, and it overrides that segment when both are present. Applies only to type test or practice trials.

Syntax

Write the message itself in the cell; the whole cell is the message, with no special grammar. Placeholders such as %response%, %rt%, %correct%, and %responseCode% are substituted before display, along with aggregates, participant details, and user variables. HTML is allowed.

Options

No enumerated options; any non-empty string is the message. Unlike the feedback column, the value is NOT split on ; or :.

Defaults & missing values

• Leaving the cell empty (or omitting the column) disables it; no message is shown.
• No default message exists; there is no built-in “Correct!” text.
• The message appears only when the cell is non-empty and the response was scored correct. If the answer was incorrect and neither feedbackIncorrect nor feedback is set, no feedback screen appears.

Works with

• Correctness comes from scoring the response against the key column; without a scoring key, the correct message can never appear.
• Overrides a correct: segment in the feedback column when both are present.
• Display priority: a timeout message and an exact-response match both outrank the correct message.
• Duration and advance are controlled by feedbackTime; layout by feedbackOptions; text color by the colors column feedback: target.
• title/head text is re-displayed above the message.

Examples

Practice block with different messages per outcome:

type	stimFormat	stim1	keyboard	key	feedbackCorrect	feedbackIncorrect	feedbackTime
practice	.png	cat	c d	c	Correct!	Wrong - press C for cat	1000

Correct-only encouragement (incorrect answers get no feedback screen at all):

type	content	button1	button2	key	feedbackCorrect	feedbackTime
test	Is 7 x 8 = 56?	Yes	No	1	<b>Right!</b> %rt% ms	1500

Tips & gotchas

• On a timed-out trial the message is never shown; a timeout never counts as a correct response.
• Because the whole cell is one message, semicolons and colons are literal here, in contrast to the feedback column.
