Tutorial ZEP – Adapt an existing template experiment (under Linux) In this tutorial, you will create a ZEP experiment that runs a grammaticality judgment task. This document will guide you to do this step by step, working from an existing template experiment. The template experiment that we will use as the base is a visual…

Description: Purpose of this experiment is to measure word or segment reading times in sentences, using a self-paced word/segment revealing mechanism. Participant’s task is to read sentences which are presented in a segment-by-segment fashion. Participant reveals next segment by hitting a button. RT is measured from the presentation of a segment to button- press. Comprehension…

When using ZEP, you can use a BeexyBox buttons box to measure participant responses and response times. Most ZEP 2 experiment templates already have the necessary code to use these button boxes. However, not all ZEP 1 templates come with this support out of the box, so you’ll need to add it yourself. This page…

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….

The button boxes as used in the lab are in fact tiny computers themselves, which try to reason with the lab computers. Sometimes, something goes wrong in their communication and the button box thinks it can govern itself. Usually, it is enough to unplug the USB cable from both the button box and the computer,…
