This study introduces STIMGEN, a program for automatic computer generation of novel nonverbal stimuli. Monkeys accurately matched stimuli created by STIMGEN, demonstrating its value in research applications.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Automating experimental processes is advancing research.
  • Stimulus production, however, remains labor-intensive.
  • Novel nonverbal stimuli are crucial for many studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel computer program for automatic stimulus generation.
  • To evaluate the program's effectiveness in a behavioral experiment.
  • To highlight the utility of automated stimulus creation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed STIMGEN, a menu-driven software for generating nonverbal stimuli.
  • Utilized STIMGEN to create stimuli for a matching-to-sample task.
  • Collected behavioral data from two nonhuman primates performing the task.
