Background We briefly describe the Psychology Experiment Building Language (PEBL), an open source software system for designing and running psychological experiments. New Method We describe the PEBL test battery, a set of approximately 70 behavioral tests which can be freely used, shared, and modified. Included is a comprehensive set of past research upon which tests in the battery are based. Results We report the results of benchmark tests that establish the timing precision of PEBL. Comparison with Existing Method We consider alternatives to the PEBL system and battery tests. Conclusions We conclude with a discussion of the ethical factors involved in the open source testing movement.

• Examining the effects of active versus inactive bilingualism on executive control in a carefully matched non-immigrant sample (2015, positive): “In the Tower of London task (TOL; Shallice, 1982), participants had to move coloured balls on three pegs of different height to solve 12 problems increasing in difficulty (PEBL software, cf., Mueller & Piper, 2014).”
• Crossword expertise as recognitional decision making: an artificial intelligence approach (2014, methodology): “The study began with a brief computerized survey implemented using PEBL survey generator (Mueller and Piper, 2014), which included a series of questions related to personal experience with crosswords and related word games.”
