IVR Test & Survey: a computer program to collect data via computerized telephonic applications.

Several studies have demonstrated the advantages of using interactive voice response (IVR) technology to collect self-report data from research participants and recipients of psychological/medical services. IVR allows participants to phone a computer and respond to recorded questions by pressing the appropriate touch-tone keys on their telephone. Because this technology offers substantial benefits in terms of cost and efficiency, it is surprising that it has not been more widely utilized by researchers and practitioners. Along with the automation of the administration and scoring of tests or surveys, IVR provides for questioning to be adapted to the participants' responses. One possible explanation for the failure to exploit this technology is the absence of easy-to-use software that does not require programming knowledge. This article describes IVR Test & Survey, a program to facilitate the administration, scoring, and analysis of information collected with the use of IVR technology.

[The assessment of the action of pharmacological agents based on a new computer program for analysing animal operant behavior].

The new programme is developed for the experimental automatization and analysis of animal operant behavior in Skinner's box (Lafayette Instrument Co., USA) by means of the Apple 2e computer (USA). The fundamental of the programme is the division of the training procedure into different functional intervals. Operant behavior of rats is determined by diverse schedules of food and water reinforcement and electric shock. Rats were trained to response on schedules FR 20, FI 1, drug discrimination. Phenazepam (2 mg/kg) markedly decreases the number of responses on schedule FR 20. Phenazepam is a discriminable stimulus. The experimental results make it possible to use the programme for modelling various forms of operant behavior and analysing pharmacological properties of the well-known and new drugs.
