From ks7t at andrew.cmu.edu Wed Oct 4 17:05:41 2000 From: ks7t at andrew.cmu.edu (Kelley Sacco) Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 13:05:41 -0400 Subject: Using nested lists Message-ID: Tony, This type of word presentation is most easily handled by using nested lists. Nested lists will allow you to sample from more than one list during the same block of trials. You can set the sampling order for those lists independently, if desired. >From your description, it sounds as if you will need to create a Procedure Object which calls two List Objects. List1 would be used to present the 20 living/non-living words. List2 would be used to present 10 living/non-living words and 10 new words. Both List1 and List2 would sample from nested lists, which would allow you to control the List from which words were sampled on each trial. A good example to look at is the sample program NestingRT.es, included with your E-Prime installation (in C:\My Experiments\Samples\NestingRT). In NestingRT, two exemplars are sampled on each trial (see TrialList). The Nested column value determines where those exemplars are coming from (i.e., which List). For example, row #1 in the TrialList lists only WordList in the Nested column, yet samples two exemplars (Stim1 and Stim2). Thus, both exemplars will be chosen from WordList. Row #2 samples Stim1 from WordList and Stim2 from NonWordList. Also, please refer to section 3.1.2 in Chapter 2-Using E-Studio in the User's Guide for a discussion of Nested Lists. The example described in section 3.1.2 is very similar to what you describe. In your case, List1 would run all trials sampling from the living/non-living nested List. List2 would nest the living/non-living List on 10 trials and nest the new List on 10 trials.
