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.
Syntax
Section titled “Syntax”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.
Options
Section titled “Options”None; any non-empty string is the message.
Defaults & missing values
Section titled “Defaults & missing values”- 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.

keycolumn. - Overrides an
incorrect:segment in thefeedbackcolumn when both are present. - Display priority: a
timeoutmessage and an exact-response match both outrank it; a correct answer shows the correct-feedback message instead. - Duration and advance via
feedbackTime; layout viafeedbackOptions; color via thecolorscolumnfeedback:target.
