I’d imagine if you would do the test semi-automatic - let e-prime record responses and so on, and then have the experimenter classify the words immediately after the participant says them (I mean, after every trial, for instance), this would be possible. If you wish to know whether E-Prime can do any sort of higher-order analysis, the answer is no (unless you are REALLY REALLY good with programming, in which case you could do the same with much more ease in .NET, c#, Matlab, etc). It cannot do signal analysis at all (therefore no acoustic analysis either), nor is it (I imagine) intended to do such things. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>BUT, the semi-automatic way is probably much easier for anyone involved. I mean, the few times I did a Stroop task with vocal responses, I classified the subjects’ responses (tip for those thinking of it: classify the first letter of their literal response (‘g’ if green, for instance), not whether it is correct, or _<i>you</i>_ will have a Stroop effect as well as the subjects!) as well. You will have to endure [number of subjects * boredom involved in task = ] total boredom though. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Hope that helps,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Mich<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'>Michiel Spapé<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'>Research Fellow<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'>Perception & Action group<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'>University of Nottingham<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'>School of Psychology<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'>www.cognitology.eu</span></i><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#16355A'><o:p></o:p></span></i></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> e-prime@googlegroups.com [mailto:e-prime@googlegroups.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Merry Ha<br><b>Sent:</b> 09 December 2010 11:32<br><b>To:</b> e-prime@googlegroups.com<br><b>Subject:</b> eprime capabilities<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU>Hi, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-AU style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>I'm a speech pathology honours student from the University of Sydney working on my project at the moment using e-prime for the first time.
