FW: Staircase procedure in E-prime

[Rachel Mitchell]

 Hi everbody.

A colleague of mine wishes to programme a staircase procedure for some
vision/psychophysical studies, and is interested in the possibility of using
E-prime for this.
Specifically, he wants to create an experiment using a staircase procedure
to determine a threshold by establishing the temporal threshold for a
temporal-order judgement task (in which participants simply report which of
2 visual stimuli appear first) using multiple staircases.

I wondered if any of you might have experience with using E-prime in this
way.
Does anyone have any comments or advice?
Perhaps even an example of these kind of procedures already set up using
E-prime?

Many thanks
Rachel Mitchell
