Jumping in to second Michiel's suggestion ... If
you merely want to show a sequence of faces and
have subjects respond to each with a rating on a
Likert scale, and do not need millisecond
accuracy for response times, then E-Prime makes a
poor choice of platform. You might do better
with something like MediaLab
(
http://www.empirisoft.com/medialab.aspx ), which
has built-in support for showing images and doing
Likert scales. Or even just program this all
with HTML & CSS, and run your experiment for free
using any ordinary web browser.
BTW, we are very close to getting the online
E-Prime course running again. Everything is in
place, just have to hook up the registration process again.
