  Link FF experiement to Prolific
Posted by: [email protected] - 06-23-2021, 03:32 PM - Forum: Experimental Design - Replies (3)

Hi,
Has anyone integrated their FF experiment to Prolific before? I wonder if, 1) Participants' prolific ID could be carried over to findingfive so they don't have to put in a participant ID, and 2) If participants have to create a findingfive account if they are from Prolific.
Thanks!

  Auto-advance and feedback for keypress
Posted by: [email protected] - 06-21-2021, 05:52 PM - Forum: Study Grammar & Management - Replies (4)

Dear FF team,
For the keypress type, could it be auto-advanced? That is, whenever participants make a response, the current trial will end and advance to the next trial?
A second question, could correct responses/targets be set for keypress type so participants can get a feedback about right or wrong after each trial?
Thanks!

  Templates for common paradigms
Posted by: [email protected] - 06-21-2021, 01:12 PM - Forum: Experimental Design - Replies (1)

Dear FindingFive Community,
I wonder if there are some templates that can be used for common cognitive psychology paradigms such as Stroop, Digit Span, etc. I believe it would be a great benefit for the community. Smile
Thanks!

  yoking trials from 3 templates
Posted by: atfrederiksen - 06-09-2021, 07:06 PM - Forum: Experimental Design - Replies (1)

I have previously had success with yoking together trials from two different templates. Now, I'm trying it with three templates, and it doesn't seem to work. I'm trying to yoke trials from a MouseReset, a Basic, and an AFC type template. Any suggestions?

  A column for session time in data
Posted by: Hyeonah - 06-07-2021, 02:49 PM - Forum: Platform Improvement - Replies (3)

Hello!
I am wondering whether there is a way that I can get how long the participants take the experiment. 
Is there a column that shows this information in the dataset?
Thank you for your help!

  Experiment ends due to 'irregularities'
Posted by: mbreen - 06-06-2021, 12:48 PM - Forum: Platform Improvement - Replies (2)

I am currently running a long (45-60 min) study with kids ages 6-10. Eight have taken it, but 3 show up as 'Abandoned.' One of the 'abandoned' participants emailed me to say that the experiment ended due to the 'detection of irregularities.' This also happened when we were testing the experiment, and I had assumed it was due to the experiment timing out, and so I increased the allowable duration to 120 minutes. But the participant who emailed me was only 45 minutes in when the experiment abruptly ended.
What causes this early termination? Is there anything I can change in the code to keep this from happening?
Thank you!

  How do you prevent participants to proceed without providing a text response?
Posted by: Yilmaz - 05-27-2021, 01:08 PM - Forum: Study Grammar & Management - Replies (2)

Hello Everyone,
I want to prevent participants to proceed without giving a text response. For example, in the interface, the participant sees the questions, and there is the text box below to write down the response. Then, I don't want participants to proceed to leave the text box blank without writing anything down. How can I code this? 
Thank you very much!

  a question about blocking participants to a copied study
Posted by: cjsrka14 - 05-25-2021, 09:24 AM - Forum: Study Grammar & Management - Replies (3)

Dear FindingFive,

Hi, FindingFive!
I hope you are doing well.
I am writing because I would like to ask you a question about copied studies.
I mean... I would like to publish three studies to MTurk simultaneously, two of which are copies of the original (basically, the three studies are same).
I am wondering whether there would be any problem in doing so. I am a bit concerned about whether the participants who participated in the previous session are not blocked from any copied version. 
I always appreciate all your help and support.
Thank you very much.

  Experimental support for speech recognition now available
Posted by: Ting - 05-21-2021, 10:57 AM - Forum: New Study Grammar Features - No Replies

Dear Researchers,

We are *very* excited to tell you about a new cool grammar feature: SPEECH RECOGNITION in audio responses. With speech recognition, FindingFive will automatically transcribe participants' audio recordings for you! For the time being, it only works with English, but we are exploring the possibility of enabling other languages as well.

Highly experimental (Must Read)
Speech recognition on FindingFive is implemented by using a closed-source and yet openly accessible speech-to-text technology provided by Google for everyone to use. Because this technology is provided to everyone for free, Google offers no guarantee whatsoever on its accuracy or reliability. As a result, FindingFive cannot offer any guarantee either. 

In addition, this feature is "rate limited", meaning that Google may suddenly deny further requests to use this feature once the number of requests from a single user reaches a certain, undisclosed threshold on a daily basis. That means:

  • While you are creating and tweaking your study, the speech recognition feature may suddenly stop working because you have reached the limit. When that happens, take a break and it'll resolve itself the next day.
  • While a participant is participating your study, the speech recognition feature may stop working in the middle of the study, because the participant has hit their daily limit. The next participant, assuming they are not using the same computer as the first one, will not be affected. This limit is applied per Chrome browser installation. As a result, as long as you are not transcribing tons of audio recording in a single study, this limit is less of an issue in production studies because of the distributed nature of online testing (each participant is only restricted by their own limit)!
In summary, our advice is that please design your study in a way so that automatically transcribed speech text is the icing on the cake, rather than the cake itself! Big Grin You will always get the audio recording, even when speech recognition stops working.

Google Chrome Only
Also because the underlying speech-to-text technology is offered by Google, only participants with a Chrome browser can use it. FindingFive has implemented a robust check mechanism to prevent participants with Firefox from ever starting a study that uses speech recognition. Such participants would be asked to switch browsers before being allowed to start the study.

How to use
We have updated our Study Grammar documentation with the details, but it's very straightforward. Just add the following bit to either the audio response or the background audio response:


Code:
"speech_to_text": true

That's it! In the downloadable CSV containing participant data, you'll get both the original audio recording (saved separately as an audio file) and a transcribed text in the CSV.

Please feel free to leave your questions in this thread! We look forward to hearing your suggestions and feedback.

  Update to code
Posted by: czeidan - 05-17-2021, 12:03 PM - Forum: Platform Improvement - Replies (1)

Hello,
I have updated/changed some code in an experiment but when I send the link to my participants it shows the older version of the experiment.
Do I have to start a new session each time I change my code or is this an error?
