Hello,

Im working with a small dataset of 40 participants (Collected the data using inquisit 5, with a picture IAT template). The data for the 40 participants is merged in one single file that I already imported into SPSS using the steps outlined in this link (which is also listed in another thread in the forum):
http://www.rondotsch.nl/importing-inquisit-data-files-into-spss-pasw/

I am trying to use the "IAT SPSS Script" (which I downloaded from http://www.millisecond.com/download/library/IAT/default.aspx) but I really do not understand how it works. When ever I try to run the syntax, i get errors like this:

GET TRANSLATE FILE = 'Data_Analisys.dat'
/TYPE=TAB /MAP /FIELDNAMES .

>Error # 6406. Text: Q:\U65S4C3Q.UIQ\VFS\SFT_PR~2\IBM\SPSS\STATIS~1\21\Data_Analisys.
>SPSS Statistics couldn't open the specified file.
>Execution of this command stops.


I am really lost when it comes to how to use the SPSS Script template. If someone have any tutorial or anything that explain how to use it i will be forever grateful.

I am attaching both my data set and the script template in case you need to check the data.

Kindest regards,
Andres
