User-created PackageFiles [30096]

This article applies to:
E-Prime 3.0
E-Prime 2.0

 
Detail
This sample demonstrates the integration of a PackageFile - reusable blocks of script that can be added to E-Prime experiments via the PackageCall object - in an E-Prime experiment. The PackageFile in this sample can be used to automatically collect and display block performance statistics.

After downloading the zip file, extract all of the files to one of the valid PackageFile locations identified by the Package tab of the Tools > Options menu. While not required, we recommend that you move the experiment specification file (es2/es3) to the ...My Experiments folder in order for the Packages folder to contain package-related files only and not experiments.
 
NOTE: If using E-Prime 2.0, this sample requires E-Prime 2.0.10.182 or later.
 
Abstract
This sample demonstrates how to integrate a user-created PackageFiles in E-Prime. The sample experiment presents a basic lexical decision task. There are two blocks of 4 trials. Each trial includes a call to the AddObservation PackageCall which adds the reaction time and response accuracy to the cumulative statistics that are collecgted in the PackageFIle.  At the end of each block, the mean overall RT, mean correct RT, and mean accuracy are calculated by the LogStats PackageCall and then displayed to the participant. Finally the ResetStats PackageCall resets the statistics in preparation for the next block.
