Dear E-prime user,

At CHDR we currently work with E-prime test. In order to collect the data in the right order, study nr., subject nr., occasion nr. and time are saved. The time of registration, is the time when F7 is used on the keyboard. We would like to save the time when the 'start' button is pressed by the participant of the test. 
1. Would this be possible?
2. If so, how should we rewrite the script?

Best regards,

Esther,

Time logging in your experiment is done by the following line:
	ebContext.SetAttrib "SessionTime", Time$

Just create an Inline containing this line right behind your 
'start'-button display.

Robert

you can record the clock time by putting this:

dim absoluteStartPufftime as string

in the user script

and this:

absoluteStartPufftime = Time$
c.SetAttrib "absoluteStartPufftime", absoluteStartPufftime

in an inline after the participant presses the start button. 

or you could record the relative time from the start of the experiment using the clock.read method.

Hi All,
In most List_object columns one can dynamically assign/update values
(e.g., read in an attribute).  But I'm having trouble getting this to
work with the Weight column.  Is there a way to do this?

If not, I can use a loop in the procedure with a scripted
counter/conditional set, but then I would need to log each loop
through the procedure as a formal trial in the resulting .edat file
(i.e. as if each time through the loop had been initiated in the list
object) -- and I am unsure the most effective way to do this.  Ideas?

Thanks much,
Jeff Maxwell

Hi Jeff,

You can change the weight of a level by using the SetWeight routine before 
running the list.
Don't forget to call the Reset routine of the list after any such 
modification.

Subject: probe detection task
Message-ID: <WED.7.DEC.2005.175720.0800.NMKOERNER@YAHOO.COM>

Hi E-Prime Users,

I am constructing a probe detection paradigm using E-prime. Basically, I will a present
a pair of words together on the screen for a few milliseconds. When the word pair
disappears, a probe (a dot or other symbol) appears in the location previously occupied
by one of the words and participants are required to press a button as fast as possible
to indicate the location of the probe (top or bottom of screen). It is a simple
attentional  task, very common. I was hoping someone might have a script for a task
similar to this that I could look at to see whether I've constructed mine properly. If
anyone has a script for a probe detection paradigm of any kind that they could send me, 
I would be so appreciative. I've been working on this for some time and no one in our
dept. has used E-prime for this purpose.

Thanks,

Best Wishes,

Subject: are user defined filenames possible?
Message-ID: <WED.21.DEC.2005.132116.0500.BROBINSO@MPRC.UMARYLAND.EDU>

is it possible to get eprime to name the data file using a user-defined string variable, rather than the SubjectID?
 
i've tried inserting this code:
c.DataFile.Filename = CStr(c.GetAttrib("Experiment")) & "-" & CStr(c.GetAttrib("MyOwnStringVariable")) & "-" & CStr(c.GetAttrib("Session")) & ".txt"

and also tried with this code:
c.SetAttrib "Subject", c.GetAttrib("MyOwnStringVariable")
 
but neither seems to work, since the data file has already been created and named by the time eprime gets around to running my own code...
 
any thoughts would be appreciated.

Ben,

you have to initialize a new DataFile object. Just put the following 
code in an inline script at the beginning of your experiment:

    set c.DataFile = new DataFile
    c.DataFile.Filename = "whatever.txt"

    If FileExists(c.DataFile.Filename) Then
        If ebYes <> MsgBox("WARNING: The data file and/or recovery file 
already exists:\nFILE: " & c.DataFile.Filename &     "\n\nDo you want to 
overwrite?", ebYesNo + ebQuestion) Then
            GoTo ExperimentAbort
        End If
    End If

    c.DataFile.Open
    c.LogHeader

You can spare the "If...End If" part if you want.

Best regards
Robert

hi ben,

You could also use a utility called EKick 
(http://step.psy.cmu.edu/scripts-plus/).
This utility translates your ebs-script on the fly and has an option for 
specifying name and location of the data file. A small readme is supplied 
within the zip-file.

best,
paul

Thank you, Paul. I went to the web site to find out more about EKick and 
found the DualResponse.es written by Susan Campbell of CMU. I'm working 
on an experiment that gives a range of responses on a scale where half 
the responses are either correct or incorrect, and this experiment is an 
elegant solution to providing the correct response in the next revision.

Subject: are user defined filenames possible?
Message-ID: <WED.21.DEC.2005.132116.0500.BROBINSO@MPRC.UMARYLAND.EDU>

is it possible to get eprime to name the data file using a user-defined string variable, rather than the SubjectID?
 
i've tried inserting this code:
c.DataFile.Filename = CStr(c.GetAttrib("Experiment")) & "-" & CStr(c.GetAttrib("MyOwnStringVariable")) & "-" & CStr(c.GetAttrib("Session")) & ".txt"

and also tried with this code:
c.SetAttrib "Subject", c.GetAttrib("MyOwnStringVariable")
 
but neither seems to work, since the data file has already been created and named by the time eprime gets around to running my own code...
 
any thoughts would be appreciated.

Ben,

you have to initialize a new DataFile object. Just put the following 
code in an inline script at the beginning of your experiment:

    set c.DataFile = new DataFile
    c.DataFile.Filename = "whatever.txt"

    If FileExists(c.DataFile.Filename) Then
        If ebYes <> MsgBox("WARNING: The data file and/or recovery file 
already exists:\nFILE: " & c.DataFile.Filename &     "\n\nDo you want to 
overwrite?", ebYesNo + ebQuestion) Then
            GoTo ExperimentAbort
        End If
    End If

    c.DataFile.Open
    c.LogHeader

You can spare the "If...End If" part if you want.

Best regards
Robert

hi ben,

You could also use a utility called EKick 
(http://step.psy.cmu.edu/scripts-plus/).
This utility translates your ebs-script on the fly and has an option for 
specifying name and location of the data file. A small readme is supplied 
within the zip-file.

best,
paul

Thank you, Paul. I went to the web site to find out more about EKick and 
found the DualResponse.es written by Susan Campbell of CMU. I'm working 
on an experiment that gives a range of responses on a scale where half 
the responses are either correct or incorrect, and this experiment is an 
elegant solution to providing the correct response in the next revision.

Thanks,
