mousetrap-os 2.0.0

Changes

• Announcements
  • This release of mousetrap-os is compatible with OpenSesame version 3.2.0 to 3.2.8
  • A paper on mousetrap-os has been published. Please cite it if you use mousetrap-os in your published research: Kieslich, P. J., & Henninger, F. (2017). Mousetrap: An integrated, open-source mouse-tracking package. Behavior Research Methods, 49(5), 1652-1667. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-017-0900-z
  • If you have any questions when using mousetrap, you can now ask them in the mousetrap forum at http://forum.cogsci.nl/index.php?p=/categories/mousetrap
• Functionality
  • The mousetrap_response item now allows for a new way to specify response buttons (following changes in OpenSesame 3.2): Buttons can now be specified simply by indicating the name of the element that represents them on the corresponding sketchpad item. If this variant is used, the name of the corresponding sketchpad has to be specified as well (+ the elements need to be named on the sketchpad item). The new functionality is described in the documentation of the mousetrap_response item. It is also described in detail in a recently published book chapter (Kieslich et al., 2019).
  • The Python MT_response class has been updated to allow for specifying buttons via named elements.
  • The Python MT_form class has been updated internally reflecting changes in the form class in OpenSesame 3.2.
  • Internal changes in mousetrap_response and mousetrap_form now ensure that the cursor is always reset correctly in full screen mode.
• Example experiments
  • Updated all example experiments to OpenSesame version 3.2.8
  • Updated Python example experiments reflecting changes in OpenSesame 3.2
  • Updated example: mousetrap_response now demonstrates how the mousetrap_response item can be used defining buttons using button names
  • New example: mousetrap_response_coordinates demonstrates how the mousetrap_response item can be used defining buttons using coordinates
  • New example: mousetrap_response_boundary demonstrates how a dynamic start condition can be implemented
• Documentation
  • A technical validation of the software has been performed and published in Kieslich & Henninger (2017). The results can also be found in the validation folder.
