Abstract
The hardware and system software of the Apple Macintosh computer are described, and their implications for conducting psychological research is discussed. A library of machine language routines for presenting auditory and visual stimuli and recording response latencies is described. Recently, a new generation of personal computers has been introduced having features that make them particu larly well suited for use in psychological research. These features include high-performance microprocessors, large amounts of memory, bit-mapped displays, and high quality sound generation. The Apple Macintosh, the Atari ST, and the Commodore Amiga are examples of such computers. This paper focuses on using the Apple Macin tosh computer in psychological research. An overview of the hardware and system software of this computer is given, followed by a description of a library of machine language subroutines that we developed to facilitate us ing these features in the control of psychological ex periments.
