Until a data file is opened, no data can be displayed. Use the Open tool button, to open the data
file for the experiment. The data file name is determined by concatenating the Experiment name,
the subject number, and the session number. Following the suggestion for naming the
experiment and running as subject #1, session #1, the data file would be named
LexicalDecision001-1-1.edat.
2.3.8.2 Verify the number of rows are the expected number of
trials
The number of rows in the data file is equal to the number of trials run during the experiment
(assuming the trial level is the lowest level). For our experiment, only two trials were run, so only
two rows are included in the data file.
2.3.8.3 Determine List attributes and numbers of trial
conditions occurred as expected
Within the data file, the variables are arranged in alphabetical order by level (e.g., Block, Trial,
etc.) and may require some searching in order to find those columns of utmost interest. The
Arrange Columns dialog will allow hiding or moving columns to display only those wanted to view,
and to display them in a specific order.
