Abstract
SuperLab is a general-purpose psychology testing package for the Macin tosh. SuperLab presents static visual and auditory stimuli in blocks o f trials, each trial consisting of a user-specified sequence of stimul i. Responses can be recorded from the keyboard or from switches connec ted to an I/O board Stimuli can be contingent on subjects' responses, allowing feedback based on response accuracy. Timing uses Time Manager routines from the Macintosh Toolbox. Data are recorded in a text form at with tabs delimiting fields, 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 applica tion that generates a text format file.
