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 Community Update
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…
The core mission of FindingFive is to make the life of behavioral researchers just a little bit easier when it comes to conducting online studies. We are curious about how much success we have achieved, and how much work there is left to do. To that end, we asked a few researcher users of FindingFive for their thoughts on the…
For researchers who run their FindingFive studies on the Mechanical Turk platform, you may have occasionally got more subjects than requested. For example, the researcher may have requested 10 participants, but at the end of a session, FindingFive reports 11 completed your study, and Amazon only has a record of 10 workers who completed your HIT. There’s one extra mechanical…
Hi there! We are excited to announce a handy new feature, called Property Inheritance, is now available to researchers on FindingFive. It is now possible to utilize parent-child relationships within stimuli, responses, or trial templates, where the children inherit all properties defined in their parents. For those of you who are familiar with object-oriented programming languages, this should already sound…
We have finally implemented (the first step) of a feature that many researchers have asked for – extending the end time of an active session. It happens. Sometimes participants are slow to show up. By the time they have finally decided to do a study, the session has ended. Then you’ll have to set up everything all over again. This…
If you have created quite a few studies on FindingFive, you may have noticed that it took increasingly longer for the study list to load. This was annoying and shouldn’t be the case. We have recently spent a bit time tackling this issue. There are two factors involved here: Although the study list was paginated (meaning it displays only a…
Update June, 2018: (This position has been filled. Thank you.) Hey there! FindingFive is looking for a “Principal Data Engineer” (if you like fancy titles) to join our current team. The PDE will be responsible for An operational mission: Creating an administrative interface that allows the FindingFive Team to efficiently monitor and manage the operations of the FindingFive platform (for…
Hey there! FindingFive is looking for a “Chief Operations Volunteer” (if you like fancy titles) to join our current team of three. The COV will be responsible for introducing FindingFive to more behavioral scientists, maintaining active connections with our existing labs, and working with the rest of the team on a variety of tasks on a flexible basis. This is…
