From asa8 at leicester.ac.uk Mon Jul 2 12:29:53 2001 From: asa8 at leicester.ac.uk (Andrews, A.S.) Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2001 13:29:53 +0100 Subject: eprime problems Message-ID: Hi All I'm very new to e-prime and need to put together a paradigm rapidly, so can you please help? I need a loop that runs at a fixed 20 seconds. When the correct input is made, or 18 seconds have passed, it should jump to a fixation for the balance of the 20 seconds After 6 seconds an onscreen value should start decrementing at -2/sec When a wrong key is pressed a message should overlay the centre of the screen for 2 secs then be cleared, but further input still be allowed during that 2 secs. The problems I have specifically with my current attempt are: How do I force the jump to the fixation after 18 secs or a valid input? I'm using an ImageDisplay object with 1 sec duration (another is displayed 1 sec later ) and 18secs timelimit. The second display shows for 5 secs to bring me to my 6 seconds before decrementing the counter. How do I then arrange the loop to decrement and re-display every second, but allow an input from the 1st display to abort the loop? Thanks in anticipation for your help.

Message-ID: I wish to apologize about the inability to contact PSTNET.COM for the last week. Due to the Name service provider not sending a invoice to the proper address the name service has been temporarily suspended. We found the source of the problem and corrected it on our end last Tuesday and were told that it was to have been corrected within 72 hours but it has not been corrected. We are in contact daily to get this situation addressed and hope it will be addressed soon. However if you have questions you can FAX them to 412-271-7077. We are sorry for these problems and hope they will be repaired very soon. Walter Schneider -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I need the experiment to become harder or easier depending on subject performance. For example, a subject will start by making easy discriminations between a 500 Hz tone (reference) and another tone (comparison) that is 50 percent different in frequency. After 30 trials (half of which have reference/comparison pairs of the same frequency), the accuracy of that block of trials is used to determine whether to increase or decrease the difficulty of the comparison for the next block of 30 trials. The end point would be a block of trials that subjects can discriminate the smallest percent difference between frequencies at 85% accuracy. I suppose that I can use the summation object to keep running track of accuracy to make a decision after each block of trials. I'm having difficulty imagining how to organize the tones in terms of eprime objects to best do the conditional branching after each trial. Anyone got any ideas?
