Many years ago (at least 20) I used Mel, which was a precursor to MelLab and then to psychMate and to the full program, e-prime. I did not have a positive experience with Mel. After countless hours and hours I was unable to get programs to compile and the technical support was really poor. It was a frustrating experience all around for what was then a relatively expensive program. I never got a single program to run. Similarly with psychmate I was never able to modify any of the programs successfully although the claim is that it can be easily done. I am not a programming moron. I did take some programming classes in grad school and on my last sabbatical learned to use Java. But I am also FAR from being a programming whiz. Those dratted commas always get me ;)
I know Lel evolved into e-prime and I imagine that after 20 years the support staff has changed quite a bit. I wonder if anyone on the list has any experience with it. What level of comp programming proficiency would someone need. Could undergrad students with no comp sc background use it? Also, does anyone have experience with medialab. How about any other software tools out there for psychology? Biopac? We have a MODEST windfall and thought we'd look into acquiring some general purpose software that could be used by those of us with bio, cog, social labs. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
