Inaddition, support was provided by the laboratories of Elizabeth Bates,Maggie Bruck, Cathy Harris, Mark Johnson, Jay McClelland, MarkSeidenberg, and Jonathan Vaughan, who together have formed thePsyScope Development Consortium. Support forits development was provided by NIMH grants (MH 00673 and MH47073) to the first author, an NIH grant (HD 17790) to the second author,and a FIPSE grant (P 116B2) to both the first and second authors. PsyScope was conceived and designed by Jonathan Cohen and BrianMacWhinney and implemented by Matthew Flatt and Jefferson Provost.Contributions to its development were also made by Jay Gowdy, EricSedlar, Darius Clynes, Eric Selberg, and Robert Findler. ![]() For example, all of them lack a programming,or scripting, language, and few of them have the capabil-ity to add external devices for more accurate timing of However, forthe most part, these have been limited in range and/orpower. In recentyears, a number of software programs have been devel-oped on the Macintosh that rely on its user-friendlygraphic interface to assist in the implementation of psy-chology experiments on microcomputers. The laboratory microcomputer has become a crucialtool for conducting psychology experiments. Information abouthow to obtain the program and its documentation is provided. In this article, we describe the overall or-ganization of the program, provide an example of how a simple experiment can be constructedwithin its graphic environment, and discuss some of its technical features (such as its under-lying scripting language, timing characteristics, etc.), PsyScope is available for noncommercialpurposes free of charge and unsupported to the general research community. The standard components of a psychology experiment-groups, blocks, trials,and factors-are all represented graphically, and experiments are constructed by working withthese elements in interactive windows and dialogs. The primary goal ofPsyScope is to give both psychology students and trainedresearchers a tool that allows them to design experiments without the need for programming.PsyScope relies on the interactive graphic environment provided by Macintosh computers to ac-complish this goal. PsyScope is an integrated environment for designing and running psychology experiments onMacintosh computers.
