E-Prime collects only single subject data files, which include the EDAT extension. Thus, for
analysis, the single subject data files must be merged into a master file. The E-Merge application
is used for this purpose (refer to Stage 9, this chapter). If data is being collected on multiple
machines, the EDAT files must be copied or moved to a common location for merging, unless the
data collection machines are networked.
2.11 Stage 9: Basic Data Analysis
E-Prime collects only single subject data files. For group analysis, the single subject data files
must be merged into a master file using the E-Merge application. Detailed instructions for
analyses can be found in Chapter 5 – Data Handling. Here we provide a brief overview.
2.11.1 Merging data
E-Merge may be launched via the Start button. Click the Start button, select Programs, and E-
Prime to display the E-Prime menu. Select E-Merge to launch the application.
Alternatively, E-Merge may be launched via the Tools menu in E-Studio. E-Merge opens to
display a Quick Reference dialog for guidance through the steps involved in merging files.
