So I've got a TrialList with two nested lists to choose from. I need the first list to pull 5 unique images from the pool. So I have the have it set to read [Flanker:4]. This pulls from the correct list, and the design is operating correctly, however it uses the same image for all 5 presentations. How do I allow EPrime to pull these in the manner I need?

Thanks

-Josh

Josh,

Did the colon syntax example in the E-Prime User's Guide work for you?

I used the colon syntax example, as mentioned [Flanker:4] which pulls 5 images from the Flanker list but it pulling the same image 5 different times which gives the effect that 1 image is presented for 5 seconds instead of 5 images for 1 second each.

Hmm. So your trial procedure uses five ImageDisplay objects. Could you tell us exactly what attribute reference you use in each ImageDisplay object, e.g.,

ImageDisplay1: [Flanker:4]
ImageDisplay2: [Flanker:4]
ImageDisplay3: [Flanker:4]
ImageDisplay4: [Flanker:4]
ImageDisplay5: [Flanker:4]

(Note to PST staff: I know this is wrong.)

Josh,

BTW, I am not sure that you answered my first question. Did you actually complete the example in the manual and get it to work?

Thanks,

As for the previous question, yes I completed that and it worked.

Here is the breakdown of the procedure:
SessionProc
Instructions
Blocklist
BlocProc
TrialList - 1st Attribute: FlankerPrime [C:4], 2nd Attribute: FlankerTarget [IC:0]
Incongruent (1st nested)
Congruent (2nd nested)
TrialProc
FlankerPrime1
FlankerPrime2
FlankerPrime3
FlankerPrime4
FlankerPrime5
FlankerTarget
Bye

Sorry for the delay I had to step out.

Josh,

(I had to step out too.)

Thanks, this is a good start. So, for FlankerPrime1-5, what did you put for Filename?
