Dear all,

I have just started using Eprime, and I am still getting familiar with it. I was wondering if anyone could explain me how to design the following program: present 24 different pictures, each picture should be presented for 1 second, and in between two pictures there should be a blank screen for a second, so 1 second picture no.1, 1 second blank, 1 second picture no.2, one second blank and so on and so forth... As far as I understood this is pretty easy to do, but I am still struggling. How do I put pictures in the Eprime and what should I do? I  would appreciate any help!! Thanks in advance!

Hi,

What should you do? Pray, meditate, contemplate, but mainly: practice!

http://psychology.msu.edu/Workshops_Courses/eprime.aspx

http://step.psy.cmu.edu (and look for this e-primer thingy)

Not to mention e-prime's built in getting started guide and extensive helpfile.

 

Presently, it sounds like you're asking "I have just started using Word. I would like to write a thriller with 24 suspicious subjects, each presented in one chapter with some reflections by the main protagonist in between. But, how do i write a novel?". Luckily, you will find E' is in fact easier than this, and after an hour or two of getting "familiar with" E' using above links, you'll well be able to figure it out. For example, with an imageDisplay.

Best,

Mich

 

Others: I propose E' is E-Prime for short. Or maybe e¹ (alt+0185)?

You should be able to figure this out from the tutorials in the Getting
Started Guide that came with E-Prime. Make sure you do *all* the
tutorials before you go any further. See also general advice at

Dear Michiel,

Well aware of everything you've said. But my problem is time. Because I need to finish it today, and its definitely not going well. That's why I've emailed the group :)

Hi,

Good luck with what I suspect that'll be a pretty harsh marathon! Anyway, as far as your question, directly, goes:

1. List, insert attribute "flname", enter the exact filenames as 24 rows, as they are in the directory of the experiment in there.

2. In the procedure row, type "mytrialProc" and make it default. Make sure this is entered on every next row.

3. on myTrialProc, add first a slideDisplay with an image "subobject". edit filename of the image to be [flname]

4. on myTrialProc, add another slideDisplay with nothing at all (default duration is 1 s, if i remember correctly).

 

No experiment is like that, surely (without behaviour or conditions), and no experiment is to asked to be finished within one day. Call me paranoid, but is this a course assignment and you're running late?

Best,

Michiel

Dear Michiel,

Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, they don't teach Eprime in my course. This experiment is to test measure of visual memory. And my mentor is not familiar with Eprime, and I was completely surprised when I was asked to do it. So its not a course assignment.
