How do I import a stim list of words which is formated in excel?
Not sure what you mean--could you elaborate?
I have a stimulus list which is formated in excel. I would like to import it to run on direct rt. It seems like it should be easy, but I have not been able to get it to work.
Maybe you could send us the file by attachment and we'll take a look at it.
Ok I am attaching my stimulus lists so you can better understand what I am talking about. I need each list to be displayed for a fixed time interval and then the participant will be given singe words on the screen and be asked to respond as to whether or not they were in the list.
Any input you can give me on this would be very helpful
You can just create these as text file stimlists. Basically, you just list the words in a text file like this:
Code:~absent ~myth ~obey ~rake ~spa ~year ~pour ~nickel ~remain ~loss ~flare ~invest ~wagon ~quit ~melt
and save that text file as something like stimset1.txt. Make sure you use a simple text editor like Windows Notepad.exe to avoid adding unwanted formatting codes and suich. Once you have this file in your stim folder, you can just refer to the file name in your input file--e.g., $stimset1 in order to draw from it randomly without replacement.
