Software for generating psychological experiments
Stahl, C. (2006). Software for generating psychological experiments. Experimental Psychology, 53, 218-232.
Abstract: This review compares four software packages for generating and running psychological computer experiments. It aims to inform researchers decisions about which software to choose for his or her lab. Four widely used general purpose commercial packages available for the Windows platform are considered: DirectRT, E-Prime, Inquisit, and Superlab. An overview of each package is given, and the implementation of two test experiments is described. Packages are evaluated with regard to the amount of complexity reduction they provide for the task of programming an experiment and the variety of experimental designs they can accommodate.
In the course of the software review, two experiments were implemented with three of the reviewed packages. These implementations are available below.
