Editor: 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 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.
