The
most commonly used hardware tool in research is the
computer.We
use this device in order to run software, to measure
changes in the autonomic nervous system, and to
detect brain damage and other physical problems.Other instruments that might be seen in
social science research might include a device to
measure reflexes or muscle strength, or the
hardware, such as blocks and puzzles, associated
with an intelligence test.Hardware provides us with a means to interact
with our subjects and therefore gather information
on their performance.
