  • Inexpensive Microcomputer Systems for Research and Instruction: a Dream Or Reality?
    Behavior Research Methods & Instrumentation 1978, Vol. 10 (2), 345-351 Inexpensive microcomputer systems for research and instruction: A dream or reality? H. J. DURRETT, JR. Southwest Texas State University, San Marcos, Texas 78666 This paper presents a detailed introduction to two microcomputer systems useful for research and instruction. The systems are ready for immediate use, fully assembled, and require no knowledge of electronics. They also possess the high-level programming language, BASIC, which can be easily learned by researchers and students. The application of microprocessor technology and mass production has allowed the cost for a single microcomputer to be reduced to about $600. At this price, virtually any psychology department or individual researcher can begin to employ computer technology in psychological research and instruction. The hardware specifications, software characteristics, criteria for selection, and possible applications of these systems are considered, with emphasis on use in psychological applications. Computer technology has allowed many dreams to nology to the acquisition and control of behavioral become reality.
