Résumé
"Adoption of exogenous technology for the automated arrangement of contingencies has accompanied and shaped the development of the experimental analysis of behav ior. During the early days, motors and electromechanical relays were used for control ling and recording experimental events. As it became available, solidstate equipment began to replace electromechanical relays between the 1960s and 1970s. About the same time, the advent of minicomputers and personal computers, resulted in inter faces, and statenotation programming languages designed for simplifying the daily work of operant researchers. During recent years, new technology involving lowcost microcontroller inputoutput boards, and a variety of analog and digital sensors has become available worldwide. These boards could help developing new lines of re search and disseminating behavior analysis around the world."
