As per http://149.142.158.188/phenowiki/wiki/index.php/Delay_Discounting_Task_(DDT) , it seems to be a sort of delay of gratification task in which you ask people whether they want 40 pound now, or 100 pounds in a week - correct? Doesn't sound to me like the type of thing you'd normally use e-prime for, but anyway... what seems to be the problem? Are you also concerned about: "Has anyone programmed into a slide a box where monetary earnings are accumulated and if so, how?"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Again, I'd really not use E-Prime for slides and anything pretty really - a slider is a pretty normal object, just drag and drop in java, .net, and so on, but makes little sense in E-Prime, where solid timing characteristics are the main focus. IF you must, and I understand some students do, use E-Prime (possibly for no other reason than that people have heard it's good practice for psychologists to do so), you could present them with two random choices [now] and [later] on a single textdisplay which says:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>"Press 1 if you would prefer [now] now or 2 if you would prefer [later] later?" and then add these as attributes to a list. "accumulated monetary earnings" can then be done as the sums of choices by adding an inline:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>if TextDisplay1.RESP = 1 then sumnow = sumnow + c.GetAttrib("now")<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>if TextDisplay1.RESP = 2 then sumlater = sumlater = c.GetAttrib("later")<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>c.SetAttrib "sumnow" = sumnow<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>c.SetAttrib "sumlater" = sumlater<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>(obviously, sumnow and sumlater are declared in the user script)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Good luck. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Mich<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> e-prime@googlegroups.com [mailto:e-prime@googlegroups.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Alevelwetsky<br><b>Sent:</b> 11 July 2012 21:36<br><b>To:</b> e-prime@googlegroups.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: delay discounting<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hi Jessica,<br><br>I'm also programming a delay discounting task in E-Prime.
