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: 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…

Tutorial: Running Multi-Part Studies

Want to enroll participants in a longitudinal or multi-day study? In this tutorial, we’ll show you how in three easy steps. Step 1: Create Your Studies The first step is to create one study for each part of the overall experiment. This means that if your experimental design involves collecting baseline data and follow-up data, code separate baseline and follow-up…

Tutorial: Mouse-tracking Study Example

FindingFive now supports mouse-tracking, which provides researchers with “continuous information about tentative commitments to multiple response alternatives over time” (Hehman, Stolier, & Freeman, 2015). This tutorial will introduce you to FindingFive’s mouse-tracking feature by walking you through a sample study. Click here to see a finished version! Study Description In our sample experiment, modeled after Dale et al. (2007), participants…

Tutorial: Tokenized Text

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…

Tutorial: Adjusting the appearance of stimuli

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…

Tutorial: Randomizing trials that are paired across trial templates

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…

Tutorial: Participant Grouping

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…

Tutorial: Recording participant responses

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…

Launching and Managing Sessions

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,…
