Enabling grouping in a ZEP experiment

In this how-to, we will discuss how to add different groups with different stimuli for each group to an existing (basic) experiment. This guide assumes that you are familiar with latin square and other methods and thus focuses on the implementation of groups in ZEP. Furthermore, this guide only looks at the actual test items….
