Common Trouble Shooting

If you're having trouble with E-Prime, check on the following items as a starting point for trouble shooting.

Presentation

Things to know about Presentation.

Psychtoolbox

Things to know about Psychtoolbox.

Subject Recruitment

If your experiment involves running undergraduate subjects, use the SONA system.

If your experiment involves running ASD and TD children, the following list is a good resource for subject recruitment.

Paying Subjects

Subjects are typically paid with gift cards. If you are preparing to run an experiment with human subjects, contact Walter in advance to coordinate the purchase of gift cards.

Data Analyis

You have data to analyze? Lucky you. Below are some tools for data analysis.

Matlab

If your experiment was run in Matlab, your data output will also likely involve Matlab as well.

You will likely need Psychtoolbox for your experiment. Psychtoolbox has an extensive wiki, and you can download it here:

 http://psychtoolbox.org/PsychtoolboxDownload

You might be able to skip the instruction about downloading a subversion installer, just download DownloadPsychtoolbox.m to your desktop and follow the instructions from there.

R

R is a language and environment for statistics and graphics. It is available as free software here.
