Hello,
The self-paced reading task (SPRT) is a well-established paradigm to study various psycholinguistic processes involved in language and reading. Words appear one at a time on a screen, left to right (for languages that read from left to right) or centrally. Participants read each word in the sentence at their own pace and move to the next by pressing a single key (typically SPACEBAR). This allows the experimenter to collect reading times for each word in a sentence.
Has anyone implemented the SPRT in PsyToolkit and if not, does anyone have any suggestion on how to code it by reading from an external list file that has sentences of different length on separate lines?
Thank you, Luca

Hey there, It is coming in the next update ! You can check what is new in this update here, including text arrays which is perfect for self paced reading with sentences of different length. You should also check PsyToolkit's twitter account, it is regularly updated. I heard about the next update here. You can still manage to code a SPR task with the current version of PsyToolkit by playing with complex tables and number arrays, but I recommend to wait for the next update since it will be clearly easier to code a SPR task with text arrays. |

The new demo can be seen via Twitter, indeed! Thanks to Silk for pointing that out. One of our students needs this too, and I can set up a "temporary" version for you if you want, no problem. Just email psytoolkit@gmx.com for details. It is much simpler to use the "new" code, although it can be done differently as well.
