| I am creating an informal test and I am counting up the number of false alarms and correct responses during the course of the trials using global variables. Is it possible for me to display the value of these variables using a TextDisplay object or slide object? I would like to have the results of the test shown on screen at the end of the session. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Sure. Suppose your global variables are NFalseAlarms and NCorrectResponses, and your final TextDisplay is SummaryText.
(1) Then you could display your variables by putting the following inline script before SummaryText:
SummaryText.Text = "NFalseAlarms: " & NFalseAlarms _
& "NCorrectResponses: " & NCorrectResponses
(BTW, you could also do this with a humble MsgBox, e.g.,
MsgBox "NFalseAlarms: " & NFalseAlarms _
& "NCorrectResponses: " & NCorrectResponses
)
(2) Or, in SummaryText you could put something like
NFalseAlarms: [NFalseAlarms]
NCorrectResponses: [NCorrectResponses]
and pass your variables in as attributes in a bit of inline before SummaryText, e.g.,
c.SetAttrib "NFalseAlarms", NFalseAlarms
c.SetAttrib "NCorrectResponses", NCorrectResponses
I prefer the second method because (a) it just seems more E-Prime-like, and (b) it also logs your variable values to the .edat file.
