	Roese Social Cognition Lab
	Visit the Roese Lab Website			The MediaLab Warehouse is a shared software project by which researchers can exchange
				operationalizations of particular tasks created for use with MediaLab,thereby facilitating
	People			research by reducing duplication in programming effort.
	Lab Member Information
				MediaLab is a software package for use in psychological experiments. The software was
	Lab Bulletin Board			created by Blair Jarvis and his company, Empirisoft. The chief advantages of MediaLab are
				its ease of implementation (no formal programming required) and its flexibility with regard to
	Lab Calendar			multimedia presentation (image, video, sound).
	Join the Lab			An additional advantage of MediaLab, now becoming increasingly apparent, is its modularity.
				In other words, particular components of an experiment, from the core manipulations to
	MediaLab Warehouse			distractor tasks, from cognitive load manipulations to self-esteem scales, from cued recalls to
				thought-listings, may be created independently and saved as separate files. Such files may
				then be plugged into separate experiments.
				Once a single computer file specifying a discrete procedure is created, one may reuse it, or
				better yet: SHARE IT. Why recreate the wheel each time you run a computer-based
				experiment? If someone else has created a perfectly good cognitive load manipulation,
				for example, why not use theirs?
				Of course, to make use of all this flexibility and functionality, you need to buy MediaLab.
				MediaLab is a commercial product and you must pay for it. The modules that plug into it,
				however, may be shared in the same noncommercial scientific spirit as all custom-created
				research materials.
