    A new software system for operant conditioning and data analysis was developed for the PDP-12A minicomputer. This system enables simultaneous experiments and off-line analysis of behavioral data.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Science
    • Behavioral Science
    • Psychology

    Background:

    • Operant conditioning research requires sophisticated experimental control and data acquisition.
    • Minicomputers offer a platform for real-time experimental management.
    • Previous systems lacked integrated data analysis capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a versatile software system for operant conditioning experiments.
    • To enable simultaneous control and data collection from multiple peripheral devices.
    • To provide off-line data analysis for experimental results.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a quasi time-sharing software system for the PDP-12A minicomputer.
    • Integrated control of binary-mode peripheral devices.

  • Implemented a cathode ray-tube display for real-time experiment monitoring.
  • Utilized magnetic tape for off-line storage and analysis of response data.

    • Main Results:

    • The software system successfully controlled and acquired data from peripheral devices.
    • Near simultaneous execution of multiple experiments was achieved.
    • Real-time status updates of experiments were provided via CRT display.
    • Off-line analysis of taped response data was performed.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed software system provides a flexible and efficient platform for operant conditioning research.
    • The system's capabilities enhance experimental control and data analysis efficiency.
    • This system is applicable to various experimental paradigms, including visual discrimination training.
