Linger3

Updating and expanding on the much-beloved Linger psycholinguistics software, with the (failed) goal of creating and 'releasing' Linger3 in 2020.

What is Linger?

Linger (lost to link rot: http://tedlab.mit.edu/~dr/Linger/ but archived on the Way Back Machine) is a piece of software for gathering online and offline psycholinguistic data, developed by TedLab and Doug Rohde (2001-2003). However, in 2019, it is still widely used and powerful but no longer supported. I am adapting and updating Linger to be more flexible, powerful, and user-friendly in my capacity as a research support scientist at Newcastle University.

Update log

Linger v2.96:

  • updated clock clicks to clock clicks -milliseconds as suggested by Ken Nakatani (2017).
  • added preference option QuestionsFirst to allow control of the order that ratings are collected with respect to any questions (lines with ? and ! headers, e.g.).
  • changed multiple choice options to be displayed vertically rather than in a grid with two columns
