Analyzing wrong answers

[Eline Borch Petersen]

Without knowing any details about your experiment I'd recommend one of two 
ways:
 
If you are only interested in havin the result given to you be E-Prime, you 
can define a global variable in your main script (e.g. wrongAnswer1, 
wrongAnswer2 ect). Initiate the variables in the beginning of you 
experiment using an InLine. After each trial, use an InLine to detect which 
anser is given and correct the according value ( wrongAnswer1 = 
wrongAnswer+1). In the end of your experiment you can calculate the total 
number og incorrect answers, the distribution across wrong answers ect. 
 
Another way is to all relevant information for each trial into a .txt file 
(reaction time, which answer is given, what the correct answer is, what 
answering possibilities they had ect.). Then you have all the information 
saved for analysis in another program.
 
Hope it helpes
