Background:
We briefly describe the Psychology Experiment Building Language (PEBL), an open source software system for designing and running psychological experiments.
New Method:
We describe the PEBL Test Battery, a set of approximately 70 behavioral tests which can be freely used, shared, and modified. Included is a comprehensive set of past research upon which tests in the battery are based.
Results:
We report the results of benchmark tests that establish the timing precision of PEBL.
Comparison With Existing Method:
We consider alternatives to the PEBL system and battery tests.
Conclusions:
We conclude with a discussion of the ethical factors involved in the open source testing movement.
