Experimental Repository
Psychologists regularly use experiments to collect data about peoples cognitions, personality, perceptions, or behaviour (amongst other things).
However, there are a number of solutions available for conducting data collection with behavioural tasks, such as the Stroop task, Go/No-Go task, or N-back task. At Wrexham University, we predominantly use 2 solutions; Psychopy and Gorilla.
Each has different strengths and weaknesses, so you should consider which system is best for your research.
An upcoming array of batteries are on their way to be made and gathered as a full list of experimental task (Updated to Task Builder 2) within our Wrexham University Repository page on Gorilla.sc. If you are an undergraduate student at Wrexham University you will be expected to create your own version of the task.
