Hi Pure,

Sorry to disappoint you: we are not professionals but simply other e-prime 
users helping each other out. Personally, I make a bit of a point out of 
not performing students' work - after all they/you are supposed to learn 
from this. If you could ask more detailed questions on more specific parts 
of the design where you get stuck - I won't mind  giving you pointers in 
order to get you on track again, but building an entire experiment for you 
is not really an option.

Two pointers to getting started: 
- first aim to build a stripped version of the experiment that does not yet 
have all the different conditions etc. but consists of just a couple of 
trials and get those to work correctly. Once you got that you can expand it 
into the full version and figure out how to implement the randomizations 
etc. 
 - check out the dohittest script that can be downloaded at the PST site or 
found copied at numerous places throughout this group -> you will need it 
to record your pp's answers: i.e. which of the images did they click on. 


best,

AW
