Randomly present set word pairs

[bcbeltz]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a priming experiment which requires prime and target stimuli to be matched in the same trial. Both my primes and targets are word stimuli located in text file lists. For the prime-target stimuli I am using seperate files for the primes and targets. The prime-target pairs are matched by their place in their respective text files.
I was able to get directRT to randomly sample the prime and choose the correct target from your previous post. However, on all trials, when directRT displays the primes and targets it displays a ".bmp" extension after each prime and target stimuli. For example it will show the prime "cat.bmp" followed by its target "dog.bmp". Can anyone tell me how to correct this?

Thank you,
Brandon

Thanks,
I figured it out. The problem was i didn't add a ~ symbol before each word in my text file lists.

Ahh.. so you actually wanted text but DirectRT thought you wanted images. Sorry, I missed that when I read your post.
