(I attached a word doc with the code of the IAT I used) It runs perfectly, the only problem is that it only generates the raw data file, it does not generate the summary data file. Is this going to be a problem for the analysis? or is the analysis done using the raw data file? I am sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but its my first time using the IAT. Thank you in advance, Andres The raw data file contains everything you need. The final D-score for a given participant is the value in the expressions.d column in that participant's raw data files final row. If you want the script to put out a summary data file in addition, either define a proper <summarydata> element in the script or use a more recent template instead of the outdated one you've been using. As for how to define a <summarydata> element, you can take the Inquisit 4 or Inquisit 5 IAT scripts available in the library as examples. Hi Dave, Thank you for your quick response! So if i understand you well, the final D-score is the value in the row 180 (final row) of the "expressions.d" column right? I am attaching an image just to be extra sure. Really appreciate your help. Andres Yes, that's exactly right.
