Experiment builders are one possible term for 'software that lets you fairly easily create and run a well-controlled behavioural experiment, to research the validity of a theory or belief'.

This may sound no harder than making a nice powerpoint, but since various experiments care about reaction speed (e.g. as a measure of confusion), you care about precise stimuli timing, and precise response timing.

The lower you want to push this, the more specialized both the software and other practical details become.
