Hi,


This question doesn't concern just Inquisit but maybe someone would still like  to comment on it. My question concerns a ST-IAT, but I guess there's no diffence to a normal one. 


Since IAT is somewhat sensitive to which pairing is made first, Inquisit presents them in different order to every other subject, so the first one gets flowers paired with good and the second participant gets insects with good and the like. Right?


In my data which I've gathered with the demo (yes, I will buy the license as soon as I get the money), it seems there's a huge difference between the groups that got first paired with A or B. A few questions:


1) I checked this for the subjects by looking at the first block after attribute practices in my ST-IAT. So there's TargetAleft for the first subject, but TargetARight for the second etc. Am I interpreting this correctly?


2) What's the correct way of estimating the size of this effect? I was told that correlating does not work in this case, so should I just check the means and perform ANOVA for significance of these, or?



Thanks and best (apologies for asking simple things again, but i'm just making sure),
