Cumulative RT for Two Events

[David McFarlane]

Jordan,

Just making sure...  Please be advised that "Cumulative" timing mode 
does *not* in any way, shape, or form produce a "cumulative RT", 
whatever that means.  Cumulative timing mode only affects how E-Prime 
schedules the onset time of the next object.  For details, study Chapter 
3 of the User's Guide that came with EP; you might also look at my 
earlier post, "Mastering E-Prime: Meaning of all time audit measures" at 
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/39e899d3457d4917 
.
