Automatic Apparatus for Stimulus Presentation and Recording in Visual Threshold Experiments

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An apparatus is described which automatically controls the presentation of light stimuli and records subjects’ responses in visual threshold experiments. The apparatus includes: (a) A tape reader which controls the magnitude and time of occurrence of light stimuli, in accordance with the location of holes in a programming tape, and (b) a punch recorder which makes a permanent record of the conditions of each light stimulus and of the responses made by each of four subjects. The accuracy of the stimulus-producing equipment is monitored. Electric counters tally the correct responses made by each subject for each magnitude of light stimulus.
