Some years ago, as a vision science Honours and then PhD student emerging from a Psychology degree (as many of us do), I had no programming experience at all when I started to run my experiments. This was before the days of PsychoPy, so I ran everything in MATLAB, first of all relying on my supervisor to program the experiments and then, over the years, teaching myself the necessary programming skills.
