It has been a really good week, as I finally solved all the problems with the Value Learning E-Prime (thanks to Kamil and Mark) and have a version up and running. This is VERY exciting after weeks of staring at it wondering why it won't work properly. I am waiting to hear back from Mark on nitpicks and also the ethics situation, but as far as I'm concerned I think it is nearly ready to run.
Had a look at the data from the Hot or Not Inhibition study this week as well. If we remove one person who rated everyone of both sexes very low, we get significant differences between go and no go on the people who they are not attracted to, but non-significant on the people they are attracted to. However, our N is still pretty low so I will run more ppts to get us up to 24 usable ones. Then we should have a better idea of what exactly is going on.
In other news, heard from Jan at Stonehenge that things are crazy there right now and could I please not bother her for three weeks or so. (not in so many words!) Fair enough, so that project is on the back burner until the end of September.
We have a draft of the SD review!!!! Sort of. But I have been working quite hard on it this week and it is getting much more readable. Ben finally uploaded something, but I haven't really looked at it as have been working on fleshing out the final section on attentional training. Some quite cool experiments, but sadly not looking like the results are clinically applicable.
And finally, Christian stopped by and determined that my Python problems are something Mac-related. He is determined to find a solution. Once one is found, I will attempt to make the Value Learning experiment in Python as well (and then we will have a choice of methods).
To do*:
- try modifying E-Prime so that we can modify the win/loss contingency
- work on SD review
- NSERC proposal
* but I may be away portaging all next week, so not too much may get done.
