Multiple responses in a dual-task paradigm

[David McFarlane]

Janina,

Ah yes, as explained in the InputMask Object topic of the online 
E-Basic Help, E-Prime only stores the results from *one* input mask 
of an object with multiple input masks.  Here is the relevant passage in full:

"When dealing with multiple InputMask objects, the rule of thumb to 
remember is that the RteRunnableInputObject's mirror properties (ACC, 
RESP, RT, RTTime, CRESP) will reflect the last mask to have processed 
a response or timed out.  Therefore, if two input masks are to be 
disarmed if the InputMask.TerminationResponse = {ENTER}, then the 
properties for the input mask that was added last to the 
InputMaskManager will have its properties reflected in the 
RteRunnableInputObject's mirror properties.  In E-Studio, the order 
that the input masks appear in the Duration/Input property page is 
the order in which they will be added to the InputMaskManager 
object.  When an input mask is disarmed as a result of another mask 
completing, it does not update its information to the 
RteRunnableInputObject's mirror properties.  For example, if the 
first mask meets its max count, then the RteRunnableInputObject 
mirror properties reflects the values in the first mask, and not the 
second, third, etc."

To save data separately, you will need some inline script.  The 
Multiple Response Collection example from the Downloads area of the 
PST web site may help you with that (you will have to register and 
login to have access to the Downloads area).
