Dot-Probe task using E-Prime

[S.Mobini at uea.ac.uk]

Hi Many thanks for your message. I am using the word pairs (e.g., shy and
rug), one presented above the other (top and bottom position) but I need
to counterbalance this, so for some subjects (50%) shy is the top word and
for some others (50%) it is the bottom word.
Altogether, I have 45 fixed pairs of words as my verbal stimuli, i.e. 15
pairs of POSITIVE words and Neutral (e.g., happy and pivot), 15 pairs of
NEGATIVE words and Neutral (e.g., insecure and tortoise), and 15 pairs of
BODY SENSATION and Non-body sensation words (e.g., Edgy and Dial).
I need to randomise the order of word pair presentations for each subject
so that each subject will receive the word pairs in a randomised order. I
also need to control the appearance of the probe (50% at the position of
the top word and 50% at the position of the bottom word).
Thank you very much for your help.
Sirous
