Help!!!!!

[Michiel Spape]

That's OK, there's a particularly fancy Step-By-Step 'how to learn E-Prime if you're about as good at programming as the average psychotherapist you still know from your undergrads': 
http://www.cognitology.eu/pubs/AnE-Primer2009.pdf
Our students seemed to like it... it contains a number of experimental paradigms, the idea being that if you work through the book, you ought to be able to read an experimental psychological paper and replicate the experiment.

Best,
Mich

Hi

I have had only one short session on EPrime and have been left with
the task of designing my own experiment using this software. However,
the only tools I have are a guide that tells you how to do one
particular type of experiment :( I have no idea how to set up my own
and have searched EVERYWHERE in order to do so. Can anyone help? I am
such a beginner I need a step by step guide!

My design is simple. I would like to investigate attentional bias
towards emotional stimuli: faces & words. I would like to investigate
this using a dot probe task. Therefore I would like the pictures to
appear side by side: one neutral & one emotional, followed by the
presence of the dot upon which participants must identify where it has
appeared. I would like to measure both accuracy and response times.
Following this, I would like to do the same but with neutral versus
emotional words.

Lastly, I would like it so that one half of participants complete the
faces trial first and the other half, do the words part first. I would
also like the words and face stimuli to be randomised amongst
participants.

As I say I have a design but I have no idea what to do and would
really, really appreciate the help.

Thanks
