computerized application

The computerized application of cognitive tests is becoming more accessible to researchers in the field of psychology. First, there are already free software solutions, such as PsychoPy (http://www.psychopy.org/),  Responsive Website Development Jaipur

which allow psychologists to develop their own tests in the absence of advanced programming skills. Some of the applications of this type even contain their own battery tests. For example, there is a programming language for creating tests for psychology (PEBL, http://pebl.sourceforge.net/). It requires more skills to create a specific test than PsychoPy, however, a large set of pre-programmed executables that can measure a wide range of characteristics is freely available to it. At present, the main limitation of automatic batteries is their possibility to be controlled only autonomously with the help of downloaded and pre-installed software. SEO Services Jaipur

 The psychological community tends not to trust the accuracy of the tests conducted online, due to potential side variables, such as the technical properties of personal computers or respondents' monitors. However, the quantification of technical noise shows that at least for some types of tasks, web experiments can be an acceptable source of data [14]. Thus, the next logical step for computerized cognitive tests is to distribute via the Internet in the same way that it happened with the questionnaires. In accordance with this, the PsychoPy team, for example, recently presented the possibility of launching experiments in a web browser. Summarizing, it is possible to formulate the main advantages of computerized and web technologies for research in the field of psychology. The main advantages are:  accessibility for large-scale research;  the increase in reliability and the potential for generalization of the results obtained;  lower costs for equipment of premises for experiments;  the opportunity to avoid all the troubles associated with the use of laboratories: (booking, limited space, the need for expensive specialized equipment, etc.);  the ability to provide tools around the clock without any time limits;  the possibility of open research, with a fully voluntary participation, which usually improves the motivation of respondents. It is also necessary to remember the potential difficulties associated with this type of research. Most of the difficulties can be related to technical control over the comparability of tests conducted on computers with different system characteristics. In addition, the researcher's control over the progress of the test is reduced (the research participant can perform tasks alone without additional supervision).
