Sumario:This article highlights the research of the automation in calculation as data processing method. Much of the computational literature deals with topics, such as numerical analysis, computer logic, computer engineering, scientific applications and business applications, which posses no specific reference to education or psychology. A wide variety of computational aids is currently available to educators, ranging from slide rule and desk calculator to punched-card equipment and electronic computation. Sections of the review are bibliographies, journals and professional societies, types of computers, digital computers, computer availability, programming an electronic computer, numerical analysis, computer use in education and psychology, factor analysis, punched-card procedures, other computational aids, and the brain-machine analogy.
