Paste the task in and bind its results

In a task segment, enable the custom HTML application. Paste the jsPsych page into Edit HTML… without changes.
The page sends its results in one postMessage of type carrier-task-data. Give an OUT binding to each key that you want to keep. Each binding makes a variable with the same name, which the rest of the session can use.

The reaction-time task goes in without changes. accuracy and meanRt are bound to rtAccuracy and rtMeanMs.
Run it and read the results back

The participant does the task in the session. Carrier saves the results with the segment. You can use them in all places that accept variables.
In this clip, the next segment shows them with {{var.rtAccuracy}} and {{var.rtMeanMs}}. They can also control matching or go into the prompt of an agent.

Ten trials of the task, then a results page filled from the bound variables.
