| | 6 | Linger software package is for performing reading, listening, and other sentence processing experiments. It was primarily designed for masked, self-paced reading experiments, but however, the code is flexible and can be adapted to support many other types of experiments. |
| | 7 | Linger is written in Tcl/!Tk and it can run on Unix, Windows, or Macintosh systems. Linger is also able to handle non-English text and has been used to conduct experiments in much more languages. |
| | 8 | The Linger package is actually composed of four main programs: |
| | 9 | - Linger runs the experiments, |
| | 10 | - Lingalyzer analyzes the data, |
| | 11 | - Lingrapher can be used to quickly generate graphs of averaged reading-time data. |
| | 12 | - The Subjector program is a general purpose application for maintaining a database of subjects and the experiments they have performed. |
| | 13 | Linger includes the following experiment types: |
| | 14 | - Masked Self-Paced Reading and/or Listening |
| | 15 | - Centered Self-Paced !Reading/!Listening |
| | 16 | - Masked Auto-Paced (fixed rate) !Reading/!Listening |
| | 17 | - Centered Auto-Paced !Reading/!Listening |
| | 18 | - Block Reading |
| | 19 | - Speak and Listen (two subjects, one reading, one listening) |
| | 20 | - Listen (to a reader) and Answer |
| | 21 | - Auditory Prime Lexical Decision (listen, then do a LD) |
| | 22 | Linger can be used to generate HTML questionnaires. |
