“…Among the different types of apparatus used for applied research, researchers used the computer most often at 43.86% ( n = 50) of the 114 apparatuses that were used within the 100 applied studies that were included in the current review. Studies that used computers primarily utilized programmable software such as Microsoft’s Visual Basic (e.g., Lovett & Rehfeldt, 2014; Varella & de Souza, 2015); preprogrammed computer software that collected the DV automatically (e.g., Headsprout Early Learning for Grindle et al, 2013; a custom match-to-sample program for Brogård-Antonsen & Arntzen, 2019); or applications that run on mobile devices (e.g., Motiv8 for Martner & Dallery, 2019; Plickers for Radley et al, 2019).…”
