Özet

There are packages that simplify experiment generation by taking advantage of graphical user interface. Typically, such packages create output files that are not in an appropriate format to be directly analyzed with a statistical package. For this reason, researchers must complete several time consuming steps, and use additional software to prepare data for a statistical analysis. The present paper suggests a particular E-Basic technique which is time saving in data analysis process and applicable to a wide range of experiments that measure reaction time and response accuracy. The technique demonstrated here makes it possible to create a customized and ready-to-analyze data file automatically while running an experiment designed in E-Prime environment.
