  Full list of key map codes
Posted by: mkrishnaswamy - 09-13-2021, 11:05 AM - Forum: Study Grammar & Management - Replies (2)

For my study, I am looking to use the arrow keys, among others. I was wondering if there is a full list of key names for the key map, so that we can correctly enter the options while building responses? The experiments use letters, which are called by their symbol in caps ("A", "N", etc.)
I tried, the following, which did not work since the description of the keys was inaccurate:

Code:
{
  "type": "choice",
  "choices": [
    "%s:den1_text",
    "%s:alv1_text",
    "%s:ret1_text"
  ],
  "target": [
    "%s:den1_text"
  ],
  "locations": "fixed",
  "key_mapping": [
    "UP",
    "LEFT",
    "RIGHT"
  ],
  "key_only": true,
  "instruction": "Press the corresponding key to record your answer:",
  "font_size": "40px"
}
Thanks in advance!

  Major Study Grammar Update 9/13
Posted by: Ting - 09-10-2021, 10:14 AM - Forum: New Study Grammar Features - No Replies

Dear Researchers,

The FindingFive Study Grammar is updated on Monday, September 13, 2021 to include the following new features, bugfixes, and other changes. 

New Features

  • FindingFive studies will now run on Android mobile browsers! Yep - that's right: you can now design your study just once and it'll run on desktops, laptops, Android phones, and Android tablets! iPhone and iPad support will be introduced in early 2022 as well.

    Not only the studies themselves can run on small screens now, most participant-facing pages (including signin, study list, single study details page) are also optimized for mobile devices. As a result, if a participant gets a link to your study, they can complete the entire participation process on a mobile device.

    Researchers will still need to design studies on a desktop or laptop, but you'll be able to preview the study on mobile devices now as well.

  • Improved pseudorandom stimulus pattern: It is now possible to assign multiple values to a custom stimulus attribute and perform
    pseudorandomization on the trial template(s) containing stimuli with this custom attribute.

  • Hide the "Press X" hint in a choice response: It is now possible to hide such a hint, which is normally displayed below the buttons, by adding "hint": false to a choice response.

  • Always show the "Response Received" confirmation at the end of a trial: It is now possible to always show this message, which by default only shows up when FindingFive is syncing participant data to the server. To manually turn this on, add "response_receipt": true to the corresponding trial templates. 
Bug fixes
  • In some cases, the keypress response did not accept key presses that are defined in a whitelist. This has now been fixed.
Other changes
  • No other notable changes in this update

Photo Taking away text labels for choice responses?
Posted by: megannakamura - 09-06-2021, 04:57 PM - Forum: General Feedback - Replies (2)

Hello, 
Just wondering if there has been an update to be able to take away or not show the text labels for choice responses? I know that instruction: " " takes away the actual instructions but it leaves the button labels even when the buttons are not available (i.e. if key_press is specified). This is a super minor issue and I have asked about it before haha just seeing if anyone has a solution since its inconvenient for certain task designs.

  Recruitment Bug
Posted by: Yilmaz - 09-04-2021, 03:54 PM - Forum: Platform Improvement - Replies (3)

Hi Everyone,
Recently started a study on FindingFive. I wanted to recruit twenty participants. For that reason, I linked my FindingFive study to Prolifics. Now, Prolifics reports to me that 20 participants finished the study. On the other hand, FindingFive reports me that only 19 participants completed the study. Moreover, FindingFive tells that there were 4 abandonments during the study whereas Prolifics reports that there as 5. Now, I cannot see the data to decide who is right as I need to end the session to see the data. However, if I end the session, and if there were only 19 participants as FindingFive tells me, then I need to rerun the session. Is there any way to see how much data has been collected without ending the session to decide which platform is right?

  Psedorandomization with user-defined attributes
Posted by: mkrishnaswamy - 09-03-2021, 02:29 PM - Forum: Experimental Design - Replies (6)

I am building an experiment with stimuli set with definitions that look like this:

Code:
"stimuli": {

  "den1": {
{
  "type": "audio",
  "content": "den_1.mp3",
  "visible": false,
  "stop": "den"
},
"ret1": {
{
  "type": "audio",
  "content": "ret_1.mp3",
  "visible": false,
  "stop": "ret"
},

"alv1": {
{
  "type": "audio",
  "content": "den_1.mp3",
  "visible": false,
  "stop": "alv"
}}



Here, an attribute "stop" is set with 3 possibilities. I am trying to pseudorandomize my trials so that stimuli with the same 'stop' attribute aren't places next to each other. I used:


Code:
{...
    "response_pairing" : "alternate",
    "delay" : 1,
    "stimulus_pattern": {"order": "pseudorandom", "attribute": "stop", "max_N": 1}
                        }


I got the following error message:




Code:
In the definition of "Testing1", the "pseudorandom" order with at most 1 consecutive target stimuli is impossible because there are too many stimuli with the target attribute "stop".


I want to know if this usage is correct, and if users are allowed to set more that 2 options for attributes?

Thanks in advance!

  key response with buttons
Posted by: bisserai - 09-02-2021, 07:38 AM - Forum: Study Grammar & Management - Replies (7)

Dear FF team,

I'm setting up a norming study for which i would like to have participants listen to an audio stimulus (e.g. a1, a2, a3...), then be presented with two text options on screen (a1_1 vs a1_2, a2_1 vs a2_2...) and use the keyboard only to select whether they choose the left option or the right option. I'd like to record that they chose a1_1 or a1_2 regardless of where on the screen they were presented. At first i had my audio and text options on different trials and tried using a choice type response with key_mapping "L" and "R" and a key_only response, but that gave me L and R buttons, as well as additional text instructions telling ppts to make a choice. Now i have the audio and the text options on the same trial, however i get a continue button and the fixation cross that's supposed to be in the middle is shifted left. I thought i could use "location" but that's only for responses, and my text options are stimuli - i don't want to make a different response for each audio stimulus. Ideally i'd like to have my fixation cross centered (location 5) and once the audio is done (this bit is fine, the text options appear after the audio) have the text options appear in locations 1 and 3.

Thanks a lot for your help!

  Response feedback + demographic responses
Posted by: [email protected] - 08-23-2021, 07:40 PM - Forum: Experimental Design - Replies (5)

Hi Ting, 

I hope you're well! 

I have a question about providing participants with feedback on their responses, as well as with some demographic questions. 
I am using keypresses for responses to my stimuli, so participants will see the stimuli and have to press either the 'F' or 'J' keys. However, I'd like to add in feedback, so if they press the 'F' key when they should have pressed the 'J' key they will get feedback (maybe something like 'error' and a reminder of S-R keypress mappings). With choice responses, participants can get said response feedback, but the two keypress choices are displayed at the bottom of the screen. I'd like to avoid this if possible. Do you have any advice on how to give response feedback while still using keypress responses? 

I've also been working on adding in my demographic questions, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock. I've defined my stimuli and the associated responses, built the trials in "Trial Templates", and built the demographic trials into "Procedure", including the trial sequence. However, no matter the type of response defined, the "continue" button shows up. For example, I have a question asking about gender identity, and the response is a choice response as follows: 
{
  "type": "choice",
  "choices": [
    "female",
    "male",
    "non-binary",
    "prefer not to answer"
  ],
  "key_mapping": [
    "F",
    "J"
  ],
  "target": "YES"
}

The whole code is: 
"DemographicGender": {
  "type": "basic",
  "stimuli": ["DemographicGender"],
  "response": ["DemographicGenderResponse"]

When I run the study, instead of any of the available choices popping up, only the "continue" button is displayed. So, the question will ask "what is your gender identity" and instead of the choice responses, only "continue" will display. This is the same for text box responses. (And actually right now the choices that should be displayed in the example above are "YES", "NO" because I was testing this out with previous response code that has run fine in previous studies). 

Thank you so much! 

Grace

Wink onset detection feature
Posted by: arielchan - 08-21-2021, 11:29 AM - Forum: Study Grammar & Management - Replies (3)

As I'm extracting reaction time for one of my experiments run on FF, I have the following question about the onset detection feature of audio responses. If I have the setting of "delay": 0.3 for the test trials in my trial template, does the detected reaction time include the "0.3"? In other words, is the reaction time calculated from only the start of my stimuli till the point at which the participant first starts to speak, or is it calculated from the start of the trial till the point at which the participant first starts to speak?

Thank you so much!

  Minor Study Grammar Update 08/18/2021
Posted by: Ting - 08-19-2021, 09:32 AM - Forum: New Study Grammar Features - No Replies

Dear Researchers,

The FindingFive Study Grammar has been updated to include the following new features, bugfixes, and other minor changes.

New Features

Bug fixes
  • No bug fixes in this update
Other changes
  • If a study features audio recording or other actions that require microphone access, the way that participants are asked to share their microphone access is now more intuitive to participants. 
  • If a participant uses a keyboard with media control keys like "Play" and "Stop", pressing those keys will no longer have an effect on audio and video stimuli.

  Duration / Feedback / Feedback Duration
Posted by: [email protected] - 08-18-2021, 10:05 PM - Forum: Experimental Design - Replies (3)

Greetings,

The study is about English grammar and the treatment consists of 99 fill-in-the-blank sentences. Half of the sentences are untimed, i.e. participants move at their own pace but the other half are timed meaning that each sentence is shown for 27 seconds and it automatically moves to the next sentence which is untimed. All the sentences must show feedback but feedback for the timed sentences must be displayed for 3 seconds before moving automatically to the next sentence which is untimed.

Here are my questions below:

  1. How do I underline text stimuli? The stimuli are underlined "stimuli bank" but it doesn't show up in the preview.
  2. How do I display some individual sentences for exactly 27 seconds as well as the feedback for each of these timed sentences? In other words, sentence1 is shown for 27 seconds followed automatically by the feedback for 3 seconds before it moves on automatically to sentence2, along with its feedback, which are not timed.
  3. I need to use fill-in-the-blank responses but how do I display "correct" and "incorrect, the correct answer is..." feedback for each sentence? How would I go about displaying the feedback for some of the sentences for exactly 3 seconds before it automatically moves on to the next sentence?
  4. How do I upload several images all at once? 
  5. How do I place three sentences on their on their individual line instead of having them follow each other like sentences in a paragraph? I know how to create paragraphs but I just some sentences to be next to each other on their own line. 
  6. I have two experimental groups and one control group. Do I need to create three separate experiments?
