The Use of a Small Digital Computer for On-Line Behavioral Experiments,

Abstract

Behavioral experiments solely relying on electromechanical and solid state devices for experiment control and data acquisition present special logistical problems and laborious data reduction tasks. Using small digital computers to control experiments and collect and analyze data allows multiple experiments to be conducted, and greatly enhances the speed and accuracy of data acquisition, reduction, and analysis. A digital Equipment Corporation PDP-8a minicomputer was satisfactorily used for a behavioral experiment to control the experiment, collect and process data, and retrieve data from the computer's storage area.
