Tabs,
If you want to keep each cue shape associated
with a particular color, then you should use a
single List with columns for shape and color. If
you want to run through a number of known
combinations, then you should still use a single
List with two columns, and put in all your
desired combinations. If you want to freely mix
up cue shape vs. color, then you should use one
nested List each for shape and color.
My online course takes you through an exercise
where you practice all of these List techniques,
but you may also learn more about nested Lists by
doing the nested Lists tutorial in Appendix C of
the User's Guide that came with E-Prime ("The
E-Primer" from Michiel Spapé et al makes another
fine reference,
http://step.psy.cmu.edu/materials
). For that matter, you owe it to yourself (and
others) to first work diligently through all the
tutorials in all the manuals that came with
E-Prime. Even more generally, much of the advice
at
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/e-prime/VCXgOWjKtCg still holds.
Regards,
