SuperLab: General-purpose Macintosh software for human experimental psychology and psychological testing

Abstract

SuperLab is a general-purpose psychology testing package for the Macintosh that presents static visual and auditory stimuli in blocks of trials, with each trial consisting of a user-specified sequence of stimuli. Responses can be recorded from the keyboard or from switches connected to an I/O board. Stimuli can be contingent on Ss' responses, allowing feedback based on response accuracy. Data are recorded in a text format with tabs delimiting fields, thus allowing analysis and presentation by other Macintosh spreadsheet, statistics, and graph-making applications. SuperLab has a Macintosh user interface for developing experiments. Psychological tasks can also be designed and modified with any application that generates a text format file.
