data output

My data output file isn’t showing reaction times. In the column for reaction times I am seeing “y” or “n.” These are the buttons I’m having subjects input their responses with. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Taram,

Perhaps you are viewing the data using a word processor or text editor? This causes columns to shift because they are separated by tabs. In the past, we’ve always recommended that data be viewed using a spreadsheet program like Excel or a stat package. Now, of course, you can also use our own Cedrus Data Viewer that was released a couple of weeks ago.

FWIW, the reaction time is always saved. There are options to disable the saving of some columns, but the reaction time column cannot be turned off – it is always saved.

Hisham.

Thanks!

I’m having trouble downloading the data viewer. Once downloaded, I get a folder but no application. Is this common?

Are you running on a Mac or Windows? What version?

I’m using Mac 10.3.9. Thanks.
