Help deciphering the data from a self paced reading experiment

RSanders1

Apologies, this may seem like a really stupid question, but I allowed all variables to be logged and now I am a bit lost trying to tease out data from the excel table.

I am trying to get the times for the keyboard presses on a self paced reading experiment. Each word was presented one at a time with the subject progressing through by pressing the space bar. I am looking for the individual timings for a few of these words (i.e. how long it took them to press the space bar after reading the word). Each word is categorised as segment_01, segment_02 etc. in the experiment loop table.

So, am I looking at:
response_time_new_keyboard_response_01 etc.
or
time_segment_01 etc.

If I am looking at response time not segment, then the numbers don't seem to correspond with the segments. Am I right in assuming they correspond with every key press and so I have to count from the beginning to the correct segment to figure out which one I need?

Thanks,

Rachel.

Hi Rachel,

Could you attach the experiment file here? Without seeing how you implemented the task, I cannot tell which variables you need!
