I've been trying to run some sessions on MTurk and I've gotten some participants saying that they get an error when they try to load the study "There is no content to display at this URL. In some cases you may see this page because your cookies are too restrictive"
I got a few participants to complete the study, so it's working for some people, but it also gave me the error in Sandbox mode (see attached screenshot).
Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix it?

Dear Ting!
I am not sure whether you have read my last message, so I am writing one more time. My research is aready running (4 pieces), but some of the participants report the problem with creating an account on the platform. Firstly they receive the error message. They continue proceeding and manage to input the data concerning the name and password, but when they try to log in to the platform for the first time they encounter the message on "invalid recaptach data". I have advised to change the web browser or use other email adress, but it still does not work.
Please find attached three jpeg files with the screenshots of the problem. I have erased the data concerning login and password, but I am quite sure they have been entered correctly by the participants.
I would be grateful for your assistance in that matter.
Yours sincerely.

Hi!

I wonder if FF allows us to randomly select from a pool of sentences and administer them to each subject?

For example, for Block A & Block B, we have 36 items in total, and we'd like the program to randomly administer 12 sentences (6 go to Block A, 6 go to Block B, and we don't want repetition within these randomly chosen 12 sentences). 

Please let me know if any of this doesn't make sense to you!

Thank you so much,
Yuting

Hi Ting,

For my study, participants first listen to an audio sentence, at the offset of the sentence,  a visual target will appear on the screen, participants need to press a key to indicate if the visual target and the final word of the heard audio sentence is a match or mismatch.

When I looked at the data, I found that the actual RTs should equal to "trial_duration" minus the length of the audio file but not the values in the column "response_rt". Is there a way to directly log the actual RTs that I want onto the FF results spreadsheet? 

Thank you!

Hello All. 
I am working on a new study and I need to change the size, or colour, or make bold only a one word/phrase of the response sentence. For example, in the following response: 'to beat around the bush' , I would like the word 'bush' to be bold, and the other words to have 'regular' font. As an alternative, it can have different colour or size. I know the program allows a researcher to adjust the size of the whole response, but is it possible to change the part of it to be bold? (or change its colour or?).
If yes, how should I create a particular command? 
Thank you in advance! 
Kind regards
Paweł

Hello!

I wonder how I could counterbalance the order of "test_noise" and "test_accent" for a between-subject design? Subjects should be randomly assigned to Group 1, 2, or 3, but they will complete both noise test and accent test, and I wish to counterbalance the order of these 2 test blocks. Here's my code:


"block_sequence": [
                    "General_Instruction", "Subject_ID", "Sound_check",
                    {"Group1":["c_practice", "c_exposure_1", "c_exposure_2", "c_exposure_3", "c_test_noise", "c_test_accent", "c_baseline"],
                    "Group2":["n_practice", "n_exposure_1", "n_exposure_2", "n_exposure_3", "n_test_noise", "n_test_accent", "n_baseline"],
                    "Group3":["a_practice", "a_exposure_1", "a_exposure_2", "a_exposure_3", "a_test_noise", "a_test_accent", "a_baseline"]}
                    "Survey"] 


Thanks!

Hi, I have collected data from a word-by-word self-paced study on FindingFive and am currently in the process of analyzing it. Although, FindingFive does record the RTs per each word (see yellow column in screenshot for RTs and blue column for each word in the sentence), the output does not provide a column that allows the researcher to see the position of each word in the full sentence. So far, I have been filtering my experimental conditions in Excel and labelling each word position manually (see green column). However, I was wondering if there is a more efficient way of doing this? Whether it be by using a specific argument I can add to the tokenized text option, or if someone has an automated Excel sheet or R script that can facilitate this process. Thanks in advance!

Q: How can I reimburse my participants for being in my study?

A: For studies launched directly on FindingFive, you can maintain an account balance to pay participants. Using the money in that account there are 3 ways participants can choose to be reimbursed. We support paying participants directly via PayPal or a digital gift card (including a digital debit card option). Alternatively, students can also receive course credit.

For studies launched on Mechanical Turk, payment is processed by Amazon. We will check your AWS account balance to make sure it has enough funds to cover the cost of your study session before launching it.

You are also welcome to arrange payment outside of the FindingFive platform.

For more information on payments and course credits, you can visit our Researcher FAQ page.

Q: When should I use timeout duration vs. trial duration?

A: When you are trying to do a speeded task where participants must respond within X number of seconds depending on the trial, the recommended approach is set a timeout duration on the choice response rather than on the trial. Trial durations are usually only a good idea for training trials, where no responses are needed. For more information about controlling trial timing, see: Adjusting the Timing of Trials | FindingFive Study Grammar Documentation

Dear Researchers,

We have discovered an issue with how stimulus files were handled in the latest study grammar version. If you had launched a session in the past week that required external stimulus files, it might have reported network errors to participants. This issue is now fixed, thanks to the timely report by Yilmaz Dogukan Ozlu from University of Arizona.

We highly recommend stopping the current session and launching a new one. You only need to do so if:

• Your session is launched under the latest Study Grammar version (i.e., you previewed your experiment within the last 2 weeks)
  
• Your experiment uses stimulus files.
