Abstract: | Dismal is a spreadsheet that works within GNU Emacs, a widely available programmable editor. Dismal has three features of
particular interest to those who study behavior: (1) the ability to manipulate and align sequential data, (2) an open architecture
that allows users to expand it to meet their particular needs, and (3) an instrumented and accessible interface for studies
of human-computer interaction (HCI). Example uses of each of these capabilities are provided, including cognitive models that
have had their sequential behavior aligned with subject’s protocols, extensions useful for teaching and doing HCI design,
and studies in which keystroke logs from the timing package in Dismal have been used. |
