A Device for Automatic Control of Cessation of Response in the MECADOL-1: The SS NN SN - 482

Abstract

This paper tiescribes the structure and functioning of a device (SS NN SN

- 482) designed and mude to solve a control problem of the variable "end of answer" which appeared in an important research project on pain and on threshold of pain from an experimental perspective. The paper indicates some of the advantages which technological notions provide have for the experimental psychologist and it insists on the strict control of the variables as a characteristic of basic scientific work.
