When a study session is complete, your results become available for download. In this post, we’ll look at how to access and understand your results files. Throughout this tutorial, we’ll be referring to study sessions rather than studies. This is because a single study can be launched across multiple simultaneous or sequential sessions. You might want to run multiple sessions…

FindingFive’s goal is to be a one-stop-shop for designing, implementing, recruiting for, and communicating online research. FindingFive offers seamless integration with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk), so you can quickly and easily post your study to the marketplace and start collecting data directly from your FindingFive account. (To see how easy this is, check out our full instructions on launching a…
Tokenized text stimuli display the tokens of a text stimulus one-at-a-time on the screen. Tokens are usually words in a sentence, but could be individual characters, phrases, or non-word strings. The color, size, and justification of tokenized text stimuli can all be customized using the methods described in our tutorial on stimulus customization. But because tokenized text stimuli are interactive…
FindingFive makes it easy to adjust the appearance of multiple types of stimuli, like static text stimuli, images, audio stimuli, and videos. In addition, while FindingFive automatically displays your stimuli in sensible locations on the screen, you can also customize the locations of multiple stimuli within a trial. Text stimuli If the default size and color of a text stimulus…
FindingFive works seamlessly with Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). FindingFive offers an easier way to program your study and simultaneously take advantage of the participant pool and easy payment procedure that MTurk offers. We’ve done all the nitty-gritty backend work for you, so you can launch your FindingFive experiment on MTurk by following these easy steps: Make sure you have accounts…
There are lots of situations where you’ll want to randomize the order of your trials so that you can avoid potential order-of-presentation effects. This can easily be accomplished by setting the order property of your block to randomized_trials. But in blocks where you have multiple trial templates, it might be important to keep the trials across templates paired together, even…
Are you trying to assign some participants in your experiment to a control condition while other participants experience an experimental manipulation? Or, do you want to counterbalance the presentation of study elements across different participants to take care of potential order effects in your study? FindingFive can easily handle these situations with participant grouping. Participant grouping allows you to create…
FindingFive allows you to record a number of different types of participant responses. This blog post will cover the basics of how to collect your data using choice responses, ratings, free-text responses, and audio responses, along with a few ways to customize various types of responses. Soliciting choice responses A common response to solicit from participants is a choice among…
In this tutorial, we’ll go through the steps involved in running your study on FindingFive. First, we will discuss how to start and manage sessions, and then we will discuss how to examine the data. Starting a session Managing active/scheduled and finished sessions Looking at the data Starting a session Once you’ve confirmed that your study is ready to run,…
FindingFive allows you to quickly and easily design experiments for deployment on the web. In this crash course, we will take a detailed tour through some of FindingFive’s features by designing a simple memory study: a modification of Craik and Tulving (1975). We highly recommend you follow through this example carefully before creating your own experiment. This crash course focuses…
