ODLog™ Product Info

ODLog™ is an easy-to-use application for the accurate timing and recording of observational data. ODLog is typically used by scientists in:

naturalistic field observation studies
animal behavioral experiments
human psychological experiments

Although ODLog was primarily designed for researchers working in the behavioral sciences, it can also be used in any applications involving accurate manual scoring of live or videotaped observational data.

ODLog is currently in use by researchers around the globe in experiments involving the manual observation of infant, adult, and animal behavior. ODLog can be used for data collection in studies using object recognition, social interaction, light-dark emergence, mazes, face preference, peer interaction, and much more.

Data are stored in text format and can easily be imported into any spreadsheet (e.g., Microsoft Excel^®) or statistical package (e.g., SPSS^®) for analysis. If you need to create an accurately timed record of live or videotaped behavior, you need ODLog!

Runs on Mac OS X^®, Mac OS 9^®, and Microsoft Windows^®!

With the new version 2.x for Windows and Mac OS X, you can simultaneously score up to 12 different behavioral events. The timer speed can also be adjusted to score fast- or slow-motion videotaped behavior. Version 2.x sports a completely redesigned user interface and is compatible with Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, and Mac OS X version 10.4.x (Tiger) and earlier^**. As of version 2.5, the Mac version is a universal binary, so it will run natively on older Macintosh computers, and all newer Intel-based Macintosh computers.
