Nested List Not Following Selection Rules

Thu Aug 7 02:18:35 UTC 2014

Dear Noam,

I have seen your excel profile and I have some questions about your
procedure. How did you random the wordlist so that you can get the random 4
words to show? Did you write any inline codes or just random the list, if
the latter, what's inside the list, how come the numbers named
newlist1,newlist2,wordlist,wordlist2? This is why I would like to see your
eprime program. I want the structure of your program so that I can get you.

Besides, I think you can group the 85 words into two groups,
negative(list1) and positive(list2) and then make a master list list3,list1
and list2 are nested in list3, and in list3, you have 4
attributions:p1,p2,n1,n2, and you can define p1 as [list2:0],p2 as
[list2:1],n1 as [list1:0],n2 as [list1:1], then you can set the weight of
List3 as 24. I think this can work.you can have a try.

hope that helps.

My best,

Sally
