Digit Span tasks not working for available jsPsych versions

[prosodactyl]

Hi, thanks for having these openly available! I realize both the forward and backwards digit span tasks were created for version 6.0.2, and I can't get them to run on the more recent versions. I am new to jsPsych, so I'm not sure where the compatibility issue comes from.

Hello! I've updated both the forward and backward digit spans to be compatible with jspsych 6.3.0. However, please note that my github repositories have a custom CSS file for making the number pad look more aesthetically pleasing. This is found in the css folder on the repositories. The script will still be able to run without this css file, but the layout of the keypad will be different. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. I'm happy to troubleshoot if you provide more details on any encountered errors (e.g., by looking at the console log)

Hi! Thank you so much for the update. I'm able to run the script locally on a computer, but I have tried the script in Cognition and Gorilla, and it's not working. As I'm trying to run the script, I get "The experiment failed to load" error. The culprit seems to be timeline.push(fds_adaptive).

Thanks for the additional information! The issue then is likely stemming from how the different experiment components are loaded onto those servers specifically.

I just tried playing around with cognition.run and was able to get the task working - I'll attach a screenshot of it, as well as attach an updated .txt file (which you can just paste into the 'Task Code' box). My solution was just to paste the fds_adaptive.js contents back into the script components of the index.html. Make sure you also upload the audio files, as well as the custom css file (as the screenshot shows). I'm reasonably confident that if you paste the attached .js file into Cognition, upload the digits under Stimuli, and upload the 'fds-adaptive.css' file as shown, everything should work!(url
