## Event Type
RSVP

The RSVP event, or Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, makes it easier to present segments of text one at a time with one segment replacing the other. An example of use is:

The quick\brown fox\jumps\over\the lazy dog

In this example, the backslash (\) is used as a segment break but this can be changed. The text will be shown to the participant one segment after the other:

The quick
brown fox
jumps
over
the lazy dog

The progress from one segment to the next is controlled by the settings in the Event Editor’s Input tab. The next segment can be displayed after a response from the participant, a time limit, or both.

- Click on the List View tab to see the segments as a list instead:

- Click on the Preview button to see how the RSVP event will be presented. When previewing, SuperLab does not use the settings in the Event Editor’s Input tab and displays the segments one after the other with a brief delay.

- Click on the Show grid checkbox to have SuperLab display a grid the next time you preview. The grid lines are 50 pixels apart and are displayed only when previewing from within the Event Editor; they are not shown when running an experiment.

- Click on the Settings button to have another dialog appear and set the various options that are available. Most settings are identical to the ones for Text events except for the option to choose what the segment break characters are.
