Firstly, let me apologize for the “urgent” subject. I do understand that others also have needs that are just as important.
I have an experiment on hand that recorded the reaction times of participants. They were presented each time a color and a language indication (English and Japanese), to and with which they need to respond accordingly.
The purpose was to record the reaction time. However, recording times ranged from mere hundreds to 45,000. Each prompt lasts only 3 seconds on screen, so the 45,000 milliseconds should be impossible.
I’m assuming that since those numbers were recorded, they have to represent something. And seeing as they are under the Reaction Time, I’m hoping it’s just a simple matter of conversion.
Attached is the results from one of the experiments. I removed the name to keep the participant’s identity confidential.
This was not my experiment; rather, it was an experiment conducted by a Japanese friend who is now having a meltdown, as this is for her thesis, which is due in a few days.
Thank you for posting your experiment. It looks like the timer is not resetting itself. Please go into the Event Editor, under the Input tab and select Rest RT timer for each event.
Oh… sorry to ask so many questions, as I’ve never used this program myself; I only have it installed and the data the person sent me.
So looking at this data from the first 5 input reaction time:
2373
3147
8093
10939
12391
Is it safe take the first reaction time as accurate? If so, do I just negate the first reaction time from the second, resulting in 774 for the second number? 4946 for the third, and so forth? Or is the data simply unsalvageable to get individual times for each event?
