Tutorial: Using Carryover Responses as Stimuli

After participant responses are collected in an experiment, they can be used as other components on later trials of the experiment. This feature is called “carryover responses”. At the time being, FindingFive supports using carryover responses as stimuli within the same experiment. This can be useful for experimental designs where the participant is asked to review or judge their own…

Tutorial: Running Studies via a “Lab Account” on FindingFive

Researchers can sign up for individual accounts on FindingFive, but sometimes it is more desirable to create a “lab account” so that participants can see which lab is recruiting them instead of the individual researchers. In addition, it is often easier to centralize participant reward payments and/or session fee invoices in a single lab account for management purposes. In this…

Tutorial: Relative Duration for the Background_Audio Response

FindingFive recently rolled out a new feature that allows you to specify the duration of a background audio response relative to the duration of a stimulus on the same trial (e.g., an audio or video stimulus). This is really useful when your audio or video stimulus files vary in duration, and you would like to record participants adaptively – longer…

Upcoming Changes to Take Effect on Sep 1, 2021

Why are we making changes? A Letter from the Executive Director As a nonprofit organization established in 2018 to accelerate online behavioral research, FindingFive’s original plan was to be a niche player: we had (and still have) no intention to be a direct competitor to big names like Qualtrics. Instead, we wanted to make the life of researchers who run…

This feature involves a few steps, but once you get the hang of it, can be used to achieve a wide range of dynamic study designs! Examples include terminating a study for some participants sooner than others or branching…
