PsyScope是一个用于在Macintosh计算机上设计和运行心理学实验的集成环境。PsyScope的主要目标是为心理学学生和受过训练的研究人员提供一种工具，使他们能够设计实验而不需要编程。PsyScope依赖于Macintosh计算机提供的交互式图形环境来实现这一目标。心理学实验的标准组成部分——小组、块、试验和因素——都用图形表示，实验是通过在交互窗口和对话框中使用这些元素来构建的。在本文中，我们描述了程序的总体组织，提供了如何在其图形环境中构建简单实验的示例，并讨论了其一些技术特性（例如其底层脚本语言，定时特性等）。PsyScope可免费用于非商业用途，一般研究社区不支持。提供了有关如何获取该程序及其文档的信息。
PsyScope is an integrated environment for designing and running psychology experiments on Macintosh computers. The primary goal of PsyScope is to give both psychology students and trained researchers a tool that allows them to design experiments without the need for programming. PsyScope relies on the interactive graphic environment provided by Macintosh computers to accomplish this goal. The standard components of a psychology experiment-groups, blocks, trials, and factors-are all represented graphically, and experiments are constructed by working with these elements in interactive windows and dialogs. In this article, we describe the overall organization of the program, provide an example of how a simple experiment can be constructed within its graphic environment, and discuss some of its technical features (such as its underlying scripting language, timing characteristics, etc.). PsyScope is available for noncommercial purposes free of charge and unsupported to the general research community. Information about how to obtain the program and its documentation is provided.
