I downloaded the "Study-Recall" example and have been playing with that
most of today - I can't seem to get it to do exactly what I want it to
do. As I understand it (and I am a complete novice to programming other
than reading the E-Basic stuff and practicing a few days with that)
E-Prime is taking all items sampled for the study session and using the <font size="-1">SetAttrib method </font><font size="-1">to populate a <font size="-1">list for recall<font size="-1">.<br><br><font size="-1">To use only the items that participants resp<font size="-1">o<font size="-1">nd to by pressing "1<font size="-1">," I have <font size="-1">been <font size="-1"><font size="-1">experimenting</font> <font size="-1">with</font> </font>some If...Then statements such as this (with StudyWord being the name of the stimuli dis<font size="-1">play</font>:<br><br>If "StudyWord<font size="-1">.<font size="-1">RESP</font></font>" = "1" Then<br> RecallList.SetAttrib counter, "Word", c.GetAttrib("Word")<br> RecallList.SetAttrib counter, "CorrectAnswer", "1"<br>End If<br></font></font></font></font></font></font></font></font><br>I
am stuck here - despite trying pretty much everything I can think of I
cannot seem to figure out how to tell E=Prime to look at the participant
response. Maybe there a specific thing that I am unaware of to list
after IF that refers to what the participant enters?<br><br>Any thoughts? Again, any help is very much appreciated!!<br><br><br><br><br>On Tuesday, January 8, 2013 5:05:27 PM UTC-5, McFarlane, David wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;">First, my generic answer to the recurring question of, "Can E-Prime
<br>do this?" In short, almost certainly Yes; in full, E-Prime is a
<br>fairly full-featured computer programming platform, and can in
<br>principle do anything that a Universal Turing Machine (e.g., a
<br>stored-program computer) can do, subject to performance limitations
<br>(e.g., speed and storage capacity). In practice, E-Prime provides a
<br>better representation for some tasks than for others, as is true of
<br>any representational system for anything (grammar, images, time
<br>series, music, etc.).
<br>
<br>Second, for what you want to do, you should look first at the
<br>"Study-Recall" example that you may download from PST. Good luck!

<br>Stock reminder: 1) I do not work for PST. 2) PST's trained staff
<br>take any and all questions at
<br><a href="http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp" target="_blank">http://support.pstnet.com/e%<wbr>2Dprime/support/login.asp</a> , and they
<br>strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours -- this is pretty
<br>much their substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of
<br>it. 3) In addition, PST takes questions at their Facebook page
<br>(<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Psychology-Software-Tools-Inc/241802160683" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/<wbr>pages/Psychology-Software-<wbr>Tools-Inc/241802160683</a>
<br>), and offers several instructional videos there and on their YouTube
<br>channel (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/PSTNET" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/<wbr>PSTNET</a> ) (no Twitter feed yet,
<br>though). 4) If you do get an answer from PST staff, please extend
<br>the courtesy of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.
