<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>HI every one</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>first I will describe the theoritical idea:
<DIV></DIV>my Exp that I wanted to set it call ( dual task experiment) there is many design of it , But I using the design of "psychological refractory period effects" which contain two tasks in one trials with "stimulus onset asynchrony=SOA" between them (every task contain independent stimulus & response) .Results show that reaction time of stiumuls2 will be longer as a function of SOA duration. Most researches used very short & long Soa (the range was between 0 ms:1000ms or more) between the onset of the stimulus1 & onset of stimulus2 in the same trial .So it is very important variables. when the The SOA duration is longer or equal to the stimulus one duration there is not any problem & I can use "wait object" ; but the problem if Soa duration are less than stimulus1 duration -which I can not handle it with E-prime . In this last kind it seems that the two stimulus (S1 & s2) appear concurrently; but in fact there is SOA between both onset of them (s1 & s2).
<DIV></DIV>I assure that the Soa dose not represent deley in executing (s1 & S2 ) but very important duration between onset of both of them
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>second the desciption of the steps of one optimal trial
<DIV></DIV>1- fixation point
<DIV></DIV>2-Warning signal
<DIV></DIV>3-Foreperiod (which may be constant or variable)
<DIV></DIV>"After the Ending (whatever is) of foreperiod immediatly"
<DIV></DIV>4-stimulus1 (which may remain for long or short time or has variable modalties).
<DIV></DIV>"After the ONSET of stimulus1 there will be the:"
<DIV></DIV>5-SOA(ISI) (which may be constant or variable)
<DIV></DIV>"After the End of SOA (or after the onset of stimulus1(with duration =SOAduration) there will be the:"
<DIV></DIV>6-stimulus2 (the time limit of rsponse2 often must be longer then 2500ms )
<DIV></DIV>(which may remain for long or short time or has variable modalties).(the time limit of rsponse2 often must be longer then 2500ms ).
<DIV></DIV>"After the End (whatever is)of stimulus2 immediatly"
<DIV></DIV>7-Inter trial interval (ITI)
<DIV></DIV>Then another trial begin
<DIV></DIV>I can handle all these variable exept the SOA douration. the most problem is SOA duration especially if it is shorter than stimulus 1 duration "always the duration of all these Vrs dose not exceed 2000ms".
<DIV></DIV>thanks for helping
