Changing the colour of only few stimuli but not others

[David McFarlane]

Tabs,

If you want to keep each cue shape associated 
with a particular color, then you should use a 
single List with columns for shape and color.  If 
you want to run through a number of known 
combinations, then you should still use a single 
List with two columns, and put in all your 
desired combinations.  If you want to freely mix 
up cue shape vs. color, then you should use one 
nested List each for shape and color.

My online course takes you through an exercise 
where you practice all of these List techniques, 
but you may also learn more about nested Lists by 
doing the nested Lists tutorial in Appendix C of 
the User's Guide that came with E-Prime ("The 
E-Primer" from Michiel Spapé et al makes another 
fine reference, http://step.psy.cmu.edu/materials 
).  For that matter, you owe it to yourself (and 
others) to first work diligently through all the 
tutorials in all the manuals that came with 
E-Prime.  Even more generally, much of the advice 
at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/VCXgOWjKtCg still holds.

Regards,
