DMDX: A Windows display program with millisecond accuracy
TLDR
DMDX is a Windows-based program designed primarily for language-processing experiments that uses the features of Pentium class CPUs and the library routines provided in DirectX to provide accurate timing and synchronization of visual and audio output.Abstract:
DMDX is a Windows-based program designed primarily for language-processing experiments. It uses the features of Pentium class CPUs and the library routines provided in DirectX to provide accurate timing and synchronization of visual and audio output. A brief overview of the design of the program is provided, together with the results of tests of the accuracy of timing. The Web site for downloading the software is given, but the source code is not available.read more

On the bilingual advantage in conflict processing: Now you see it, now you don't
TL;DR: The results reveal that when the task at hand recruits a good deal of monitoring resources, bilinguals outperform monolinguals and suggests that bilingualism may affect the monitoring processes involved in executive control.

Visual perception of rapidly presented word sequences of varying complexity
TL;DR: Four experiments are described that determine whether or not syntactic complexity affects the visual perception of rapidly presented word sequences and indicate that sentences containing only one sentence in the underlying structure are more accurately reported than sentences containing two underlying sentences.

Millisecond timing on PCs and Macs
TL;DR: A real-time, object-oriented solution for displaying stimuli on Windows 95/98, MacOS and Linux platforms is presented; it utilizes a special-purpose window class (GLWindow), OpenGL, and 32-bit graphics acceleration; it avoids display timing uncertainty by substituting the new window class for the default window code for each system.
