Hi Traci,
I would enthusiastically recommend MediaLab, which is available at
www.empirisoft.com. We've been using it at Texas A&M for about a year, and
it is very powerful yet easy to use -- for reaction time studies among other
things. There are actually 2 programs -- one is Media Lab, which is the
basic program to conduct studies via computer (these can include
questionnaires and the like). The second program is DirectRT, which was
designed to work with MediaLab. This is the program that you use for the
reaction time study, and it works within the framework of MediaLab. One of
the things we like the best about this is that the creator of the software,
Blair Jarvis, is always available via email to answer questions and help
solve problems you have as you use the software. Good luck!
Best,
Jon I.

Subject: need help programming a reaction time experiment
Hey Tipsters - I'd like to set up a simple (I think) reaction time
experiment in which participants see sentences and make judgments
about each sentence by pressing a key (and of course, have the data
recorded automatically). Can anyone recommend good software for
setting this up? One of my research assistants has briefly explored
MacLab and Superlab, but it seems to her (I haven't verified this
myself) that these have "canned" programs and are not easy to edit
for our use. If someone knows how to set up such an experiment in one
of these programs or can suggest other software for doing so, I'd
really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Traci
p.s. Thanks to Michael Caruso for finding the searchable database for
Ann Landers' columns!
