Linger

Description:

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. 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. The Linger package is actually composed of four main programs:

• Linger runs the experiments,
• Lingalyzer analyzes the data,
• Lingrapher can be used to quickly generate graphs of averaged reading-time data.
• The Subjector program is a general purpose application for maintaining a database of subjects and the experiments they have performed.

Linger includes the following experiment types:

• Masked Self-Paced Reading and/or Listening
• Centered Self-Paced !Reading/!Listening
• Masked Auto-Paced (fixed rate) !Reading/!Listening
• Centered Auto-Paced !Reading/!Listening
• Block Reading
• Speak and Listen (two subjects, one reading, one listening)
• Listen (to a reader) and Answer
• Auditory Prime Lexical Decision (listen, then do a LD)

Linger can be used to generate HTML questionnaires.
