心理与行为实验 E-Prime 1.0正式版+2.0试用版+E-Prime 3.0.3.603.0试用版

美国PST公司开发的 E-Prime 软件是一套针对心理与行为实验的计算机化的实验设计、生成和运行软件。
E-Prime 可以让您在设计实验时，只需选取所需的实验功能图标，然后把图标用鼠标拖动到实验程序内，就能在很短的时间内建立复杂的实验程序。用 E-Prime 设计并运行的实验，其刺激呈现及反馈信号的时间精度达到了毫秒。

E-Prime 能呈现的刺激可以是文本、图像、视频和声音（可以呈现多种刺激的任意组合)，提供了详细的时间信息和事件细节（包括呈现时间、反应时间、按键值等)，可导出为文本格式的原始数据供进一步分析。 E-Prime 易学易用，功能强大，实验生成快速且精确。

E-Prime^® is the most comprehensive software available for behavioral research. Build your own experiments using E-Prime’s easy-to-use graphical interface. Design, collect, and analyze data – all within a few hours! With more than 100,000 users in research institutions and laboratories in over 60 countries, E-Prime is the world-leading behavioral experiment software. E-Prime provides a truly easy-to-use environment for computerized experiment design, data collection, and analysis. E-Prime provides millisecond precision timing to ensure the accuracy of your data. E-Prime’s flexibility to create simple to complex experiments is ideal for both novice and advanced users.

The E-Prime suite of applications includes:

E-Studio – Drag and drop graphical interface for experiment design.
E-Basic – Underlying scripting language of E-Prime (nearly identical to Visual Basic for Applications™).
E-Run – Once experiment design is complete, a single mouse click generates it into an E-Basic script. E-Run then affords you the millisecond precision of stimulus presentation, synchronizations, and data collection.
E-Merge – Quickly and easily combines your single session data files for group analysis.
E-DataAid – Data management utility that allows you to filter, edit, analyze, and export your data.
E-Recovery – Recovers data files in the event of early terminated experiments, or lost or corrupted files.

These are the most important new features:

• Button Sub-Object – Ability to place buttons on a Slide to collect a mouse/joystick/touch response
• Slide Choice and Slider Sub-Objects to support multiple survey question types
• Slide Layout Templates – Templates of arrangement of Sub-Objects on a Slide
• Interactive List – Ability to select which List row (e.g., Block or Trial) to run at run time or for debugging purposes
• Quick Start – Ability to start an experiment from any List Object in the experiment structure for debugging purposes
• Windowed Mode – Ability to run an experiment in a floating window for debugging purposes
• Property Find and Replace – Ability to find/replace Object properties in an experiment
• Auto-generate text data files with columns of interest
• Subroutines in Task Events – Ability to create conditional Task Events using subroutines
• FFmpeg – Provides improved audio/video playback and load time
• Run time support for tablet and touchscreens
• New Task Events
• Bug Fixes
• Improved user interface
• Online Documentation
• Improved Getting Started Guide
• E-Prime Command Reference
