A complete package for Markov Model based fixed trial learning experiments contains four Fortran 77 programs. One program delivers the likelihood and parameter estimates of a one-stage learning model, another program computes these estimates for a two-stage learning model. The third program was designed for hypothesis testing of the parameter differences between experimental conditions, whereas the fourth program may be employed for hypothesis testing of parameter differences within a particular experimental condition.
