feedbackIncorrect

Experiments

Message shown when the participant’s response on this trial was scored INCORRECT. Shortcut equivalent of an incorrect: ... segment in the feedback column, overriding that segment when both exist. Applies only to type test or practice trials.

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

None; any non-empty string is the message.

  • Leaving the cell empty (or omitting the column) disables it; no message is shown.
  • No built-in default text.
  • The message appears only when the cell is non-empty and the response was scored incorrect.
  • Correctness comes from scoring the response against the key column.
  • Overrides an incorrect: segment in the feedback column when both are present.
  • Display priority: a timeout message and an exact-response match both outrank it; a correct answer shows the correct-feedback message instead.
  • Duration and advance via feedbackTime; layout via feedbackOptions; color via the colors column feedback: target.

  • Semicolons and colons are literal in this cell, unlike in feedback.
  • The placeholder {correct_answer} seen in older documentation is not supported; variable substitution uses %...% placeholders.
