摘要：Many researchers have argued that the development of personal computing has transformed the experimental analysis of human behavior over the last two decades (e.g., Cabello, Barnes-Holmes, O碒ora & Stewart, 2002; Dixon & MacLin, 2003). Certainly, the use of personal computers provides important advantages in terms of improving experimental procedures; for example, research ideas can be implemented much more rapidly, validity problems such as the presence of the experimenter are controlled easily, and computer-controlled procedures permit extremely precise application and measurement of relevant variables. Computers are also important because they provide a number of important research tools that would not otherwise be available. Consider the recent advances in neuroimaging techniques (e.g., Dickins, Singh, Roberts, Burns, Downes, Jimmieson, & Bentall, 2001; DiFore, Dube, Oross, Wilkinson, Deutsch, & McIlvane,2000; Staunton, Barnes-Holmes, Whelan, & Barnes-Holmes, 2003), or the use of reaction times as a dependent variable (O扝ora, Roche, Barnes-Holmes & Smeets, 2002; Staunton, Barnes-Holmes, Whelan & Barnes-Holmes, 2003).
