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

[liwenna]

Hi!

Such funny coincidence... my 'secret button' on this kind of screens
is always 'r'  as I kinda expect yours are too, Michiel?

As for the data-aid thing... nice that you figured that out and share
it... you never know when it might come in handy :)

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 :)

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...
