Hello Everyone,
I just have a follow up question to my question above. I was able to create the list for the two groups with pctcorrect as an attribute following all of the steps David V and David McFarlane provided; however, I have a brief question about running the experiment with this setup. Will I be able to determine which trialproc a subject was placed in (highfrustrationproc or lowfrustrationproc) or is this something I would have to designate beforehand? I figure with the counterbalancing I wouldn't have to designate this, but I would need to know which procedure each participant completed. Also, in the experiment object properties startup information, I have group checked where I can input either 1 or 2 to state which condition the participant is assigned.Is this beginning group step necessary if I have E-prime counterbalance subjects into the two conditions using the list I created? I guess the main question I am asking is if I can simple uncheck group in the experiment object properties start-up information given that I have counterbalanced the list of procedures?Thanks,Kelsey

I am trying to use E-prime to build a stop signal frustration task, but I have encountered a few complications in building the task.At the moment, I am trying to create an initial script that would allow E-prime to automatically run a participant in a condition (high frustration or low frustration) depending on the participant number that I input before running the experiment.So for example, if I wanted to run 80 participants, half would be placed in the high frustration condition and the other half would be placed in the low frustration condition.
I have some ideas about how this could theoretically be carried out, but I'm not sure if/how this can actually be implemented in the script. For example, I would want the initial script to begin by telling the program to pull 40 random numbers 1-80 (I would need to somehow make the same 40 numbers be pulled each time). The 40 numbers pulled would be placed in the low frustration condition where pctcorrect (percent correct)=.80.If else, (so if one of the other 40 numbers were pulled), place the participant in a high frustration condition where pctcorrect (percent correct)=.30.
e.g. If I were running the program and I typed in my participant number as 3 and 3 was one of the random numbers pulled between 1 and 80 then the program would automatically run the stop signal task placing the participant in the low frustration condition where pctcorrect=.80 (where participants could accurately inhibit on 80% of stop signal trials).
However, if the participant ID number was 8 and 8 was not one of the 40 random numbers initially pulled between 1 and 80 then the program would place the participant in the high frustration condition where pctcorrect=.30.
Is this something that is possible in E-prime?
I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for your input!-Kelsey
