From redev80 at hotmail.com Fri Jun 9 18:37:04 2000 From: redev80 at hotmail.com (Joe Hecht) Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 13:37:04 CDT Subject: No subject Message-ID: I am about to start the process of creating a program to be used for psych research in the area of adolescent decision making response time. I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not e-prime has the following capabilities: 1. Store multiple text responses to a posed question or problem. 2. Store the responses in the order given (or at least mark order) and keep track of the time that it took for each entry to be submitted. 3. Sort text entries by id.

Message-ID: Hello, I'm an LSU graduate student with some questions about writing E-basic script and also about a compiler error message. PST referred me to this list, and I've read your Welcome statement, but I'm still unsure as to whether it's appropriate to post user questions here. Thanks, Mike Stasio From macw at cmu.edu Wed Jun 14 21:10:28 2000 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 17:10:28 -0400 Subject: experiments on the web Message-ID: Dear E-Primers, While I am in posting mode, let me point out that Ping Li, Collin Raymond, and Kelley Sacco have been building up the collection of demo experiments at http://step.psy.cmu.edu. I think we are now up to about 20 experiments. If you have some current or classical experiments you would like to see implemented, please send me (macw at cmu.edu) your recommendations. Nominations for your own studies are also accepted. In the NSF Step proposal at that site, you will find a list of about 100 experiments we hope to build, and it would be great to get people's comments about those too, if you have the energy to go through the list. --Brian MacWhinney From macw at cmu.edu Wed Jun 14 21:07:17 2000 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 17:07:17 -0400 Subject: Are Eprime Questions/Problems Appropriate Here? Message-ID: Dear Mike and E-Prime, Yes, user questions are appropriate. In some cases, they may get answered immediately by other readers. I might even take a try, although I am far from an E-Prime guru. The E-Prime support staff is also monitoring the list and they may then eventually reply too. A lot depends on the nature of the question. It helps a lot to keep your question extremely clear and as limited as possible. By the way, users may wish to note that I have changed the reply function so that replies go to the poster and not the list. This can eliminate occasional embarassments when people thought they were replying to the sender and then suddenly others read their mail. --Brian MacWhinney From redev80 at hotmail.com Wed Jun 21 04:55:25 2000 From: redev80 at hotmail.com (Joe Hecht) Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 23:55:25 CDT Subject: E-Prime Message-ID: Thank you for the info, Mike.

It truly is the best beginners book on VBA. Since E-Basic is nearly identical to VBA (be careful to make the distinction between VBA and VB), the information transfers fairly well. There are a bunch of other texts out there for more advanced programmers of VBA. Most of which are fine. As for specific information regarding E-Basic, the Using E-Basic chapter (available from http://www.pstnet.com/E-Prime/beta/e-beta4.htm#Downloads) should get your started. Beyond that, the E-Basic help contains a multitude of examples from which you may cut and paste directly into an InLine object. Please know that more documentation for E-Prime in general is forthcoming. Hope this helps! Valerie K. Maciejczyk Products Manager ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Psychology Software Tools, Inc.

I have a few questions: 1. Is there anybody out there who could help me with an example script of a self-paced reading (either moving or stationary window)? 2. Could I enter the stimulus materials into a ListBlok without having to copy and paste all of them? Could I, for instance, refer to an excell or text file and specify the rows and columns (how??) that determine the stimuli to be read? 3. Is there an easy way to calculate and display the sentence contours and mask the previously presented word? E.g. in a moving window display, the display at time 1 is: - -- --- at time 2: I -- --- time 3: - am --- time 4: - -- Sam. Thank you so much!!
