Has anyone used the automated reading/symmetry span task before?

[Michiel Spape]

Hiya,
I give it 90% chance that the "Get the experimenter" screen is actually a 'secret button'. That is, I don't know what other people's conventions are, but whenever I make something like that, I just put in an non-obvious key as the only allowable - say, R (rather than something like {SPACE} or {ANY}). I'd just scroll through the .ebs file which you presumably do have, do a search for "get the experimenter" (which should be .text property of this object), have a look to see what the .allowable is. Alternatively, you can just try every key - it's not like e-prime got that many combinations :)
2. Of course, you have noticed the e-recovery piece of software, right? Just to be sure - some people overlook these little mini add-ons.

On an unrelated note, and for the general amusement, I found out what the exact difference is between E-Prime 1 and 2 in terms of E-dataAid. Nada, that is, except that E-dataAid 2 makes .edat2/emrg2 files. These you CAN actually open in good old E-DataAid 1 but only after deleting the "2" from the extension! Tssk...

Best,
Mich

IIRC, you have to press the spacebar to get past the "get the
experimenter screen". The Engle Lab distribute these span tasks with a
readme / short instructions manual which should have info on this
also.
