Dear David<BR>
<BR>
I am a novice at this software and so is my supervisor. I have spent many weeks reading the manuals but still no help. Maybe you could enlighten me?<BR>
<BR>
I am planning on testing 2 groups and need 2 experiments for each feedback type (positive and negative) with various versions. I only need the correct answers to appear in the positive group and the incorrect and no response to be blank. The feedback icon within the E-prime 2.0 was used as my supervisor strongly suggested I use it but when I did use the feedback icon on its own without any inline scripting all keypresses (sd= same/different) were incorrect and all blank or no responses were correct. <BR>
<BR>
Now, I am not sure if I should pursue the route of inline script with the feedback icon or if I should just start over and use a different method.<BR>
<BR>
Any helpful comments would be much appreciated at this very moment in time.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you.<BR>
<BR>
