Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 11	Hello Everyone, In Greenwald et al., (2003), they introduced the Improved Algorithm for IAT studies, in the inquisit rawdata file there are variables (expressions.da, expressions.db, expressionsd). Just curious does any of the variables in the rawdata file represent the improved Algorithm score or we need to compute the improved algorithm by ourselves after combing the data? Thanks for your help! :-)
