correct/incorrect responses? If so, how?

John,

Sorry, we don't reply to email addresses in this group because answers are
shared with everyone. I don't think that PowerPoint will be good for this
because reaction times are usually measured in milliseconds, and I am afraid
that PowerPoint just won't be that accurate. If you were to use PowerPoint,
I think you would need VBA to record this information, but I am skeptical
that you can get fractions of seconds accurately enough for research
purposes.
