Varying Trial Duration Based Upon Previous Trial RT

[Michiel Spape]

TargetScreen.Duration = 1500 - PreviousScreen.Duration 
...where TargetScreen is the name of the one you want shorter and PreviousScreen is the name of the screen where a reaction is given and this one line goes between the two. .RT would not work as well as .Duration since in the case of no reaction, the RT would be 0. I have assumed here that the TargetScreen here is terminated with response.

Also try reading and working through the exorcises of the infamous "E-Primer" at www.cognitology.eu (with the other things published, direct download link far below).

Have you worked through Chapter 4 of the User's Guide that came with E-
Prime?
