Stimuli are information presented to participants on a trial. FindingFive supports multiple types of stimuli - text, audio, video, and interesting variations of them (e.g., tokenized versions). Certain stimuli can also be interactive, presenting information conditionally based on participants' actions.
An important restriction of FindingFive is that all stimuli must preceed responses on a trial. Responses can never be presented before a stimulus on a trial, but they can be configured to appear at the same time.
FindingFive has a nifty feature called "barrier" that applies to all stimuli. If a stimulus has its "barrier" property set to true, it will block the presentation of all subsequent elements on that trial (both stimuli and responses) until its own duration has passed. This is especially useful for controling how audio or video clips are presented in an experiment.
Check out our tutorial on barrier for more details.
Once you have created a new study and landed on the study editing page, you can create a new stimulus by clicking the plus button in the "Stimuli" section of the page and add content in this format:
{
"type": "text",
"content": "Please listen carefully to the next sentence"
}
Or you can upload stimulus definition in batch via a CSV file. See the crash course for how that can be done.
Please use the left blue navigation bar to check out each stimulus!
