Overview

Based on years of programming psychological tasks myself as well as helping others do so, this book aims to provide the foundations of building experiments. I use a sequence of canonical examples to introduce a wide variety of concepts and techniques, working up from very basic tasks with a lot of detailed explanation to more challenging work. The development of the examples takes the reader through the kind of iterative process that a programmer would follow when building a new real-life task. The book only covers programming in Neurobehavioral Systems' Presentation, but I hope the examples could also provide good exercises for getting to grips with other languages. The example tasks are an Emotional Stroop task, an Approach Avoidance task, an Implicit Learning task, and a Visual Working Memory task. The examples will illustrate the use of conditional statements, loops, response handling, using arrays to control randomization, flexible animation using textures and planes, titration of difficulty, and the use of trigonometry and line graphics to generate geometric stimuli.
