2022 Summer Study Grammar Update!

[Ting]

Dear Researchers,

We are excited to announce the availability of the 2022 Summer Study Grammar Update! FindingFive servers (US and EU) will be updated on the early morning of Monday August 15, 2022 to include the following changes:

A Completely Redesigned Multi-row Rating Response

The newly designed rating response now supports presenting multiple questions (i.e., rows of ratings) in a single response. This can be quite handy if you are interested in asking participants to rate on multiple properties of a stimulus (e.g., the shape, size, and color of an object). Previously, you'd need to create three rating responses and stack them awkwardly on the same trial - well, that kind of hassle is no longer necessary!

   

Additionally, you'll find the redesigned rating response to be aesthetically more pleasing and congruent with the overall theme of FindingFive.

New Audio Recording Tricks
The audio response and the background audio response can now do the following two nifty tricks:

• Automatically trimming the leading silence of a recording
  
• Automatically stopping a recording when participants stop speaking (heuristically determined)
  

Using these two features will implicitly turn on the onset detection feature, and you can adjust the onset sensitivity value to experiment with these two new features beyond the default settings.

Questions?
