Computer Programming for Research and Application: LiveCode Development Environment

Resumen

 This paper provides an overview of the advantages that a behavior analyst might obtain from learning to program computers. A powerful, yet relatively easy to learn programming platform called LiveCode is reviewed and a tutorial is provided on the basics of the platform. A variety of Behavior Analytic applications created using Live- Code are discussed and a sample receptive identification program is provided as an illustration of the efficiency LiveCode offers in developing such prototypes quickly for application or research.
