Auditory lexical decision task in e-prime

[David McFarlane]

Eleni,

In addition to Michiel's E-Primer, you (and *all* 
E-Prime users) must, *must* start at the very 
least by working through Tutorial 1 in the 
Getting Started Guide that came with 
E-Prime.  This would show you how to get a 
separate response for the sitmulus from each 
trial.  It shows how to do this with a 
TextDisplay object and a List, but you could 
easily adapt the priciples to SoundOut or Slide objects.

As to SoundOut vs. Slide, that may come down to 
personal preference and style, unless other task 
considerations dictate one or the other.  As a 
minimalist, I use a SoundOut unless I need the 
extra facilities of a Slide; OTOH, Slides do 
allow much more flexibility both for future 
changes in the task and during program 
development (e.g., displaying the name of the 
sound file as the sound is played, so that you 
can confirm that things are working as you think 
they do), and many times I later regret starting 
with a SoundOut as I manually convert things to 
Slides.  So take your pick.  Makes no difference 
to stimulus sequences or getting responses, and 
with care makes no difference to timing.

Good luck,
