I struggled mightily with PEAK and never did get it. I am not a complete computer moron having completed a course in JAVA and understanding the underlying programming language. I found zero support from the folks at psychmate. Maybe that was just my experience and things have changed; this was a few years ago.

It's $20 for the students (our classes are small enough that the department picks that up), and it has PEAK -- an experiment generator. The software for generating experiments is not easy, but once you know it, you can concentrate on letting the students decide what the experiment will be, and then you can code it up pretty easily. It's not my favorite piece of software, but it works. I use it in methods and cognitive, and a little in sensation & perception. m -- Marc Carter, PhD Associate Professor and Chair Department of Psychology College of Arts & Sciences Baker University -- > -----Original Message----- > From: Annette Taylor [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, March 28, 2010 3:08 PM > To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) > Subject: RE: [tips] computer programs for experimental methods > > I use the OPL but you cannot modify those programs to the > best of my knowledge.
