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.
