PEBL-list:

After a record-setting PEBL 0.13 (with more than 26,000 downloads), I'm
excited to release the newest version of PEBL; version 0.14!

Complete release notes are available at The PEBL Wiki at
http://pebl.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes_0.14

I'm initially releasing two version for windows. One installation package
(which requires administrator access, but PEBL shows up in your menu and
creates a battery folder in Documents\pebl-0.14.exp), and another
'standalone' version that could be run off of a usb drive or on a computer
which you cannot install software on. I should have an OSX version
released very soon.


Highlights of 0.14:

    The launcher has a much-improved interface
    The launcher lets you set parameters for each test
    A bunch of new tests for the test battery, including:
        Three complex working memory tasks contributed by David Hegarty
            Operation -span contributed by David Hegarty
            Symmetry-span contributed by David Hegarty
            Reading-span tasks contributed by David Hegarty
        an improved Iowa task contributed by Peter Bull,
        New code to do PAR-type scoring on the Wisconsin (Berg)
card-sorting test
        A dual n-back task
        A Luck-and-vogel style change detection task
        Several verbal and memory tasks
            DRM
            probe-digit (Waugh and Norman)
            ebbinghaus test
            brown-peterson task
            Free recall task.
            remote association task
            Verbal fluency task
            Paired-associates learning
        some nice new scales
            Berlin numeracy,
            handedness inventory
            big-five personality
        Stroop-likes:
            Esposito's Bivalent Shape Task (a nonverbal stroop analog),
            Number stroop
            Color stroop (more useful than previous version)
        Problem-solving/category learning
            Weather prediction task
            Traveling salesman task

I've also created a new  tool in the launcher that lets you combine data
from multiple participants.  This will work for any set of .csv data files
(and other text-based formats),  and so may be useful for non-PEBL users
as well.

Finally, to help support PEBL development, we are launching a crowdfunding
campaign via the SuperiorIdeas academic crowdfunding website.  Donors will
get a special passcode that lets you go directly to the launcher, and will
be first in line for technical support.

which has a getting-started video.

Best,
Shane
