Experimental lab platform

[CrumpLab]

This issue is for discussing how to develop and grow an online experimental lab platform for this OER course and textbook.

Brainstorming Tasks

Ideally one per chapter, but OK if there are more for some than others at the beginning. Task length 5-10 minutes. Check out Crump, McDonnel & Gureckis, lot's of attention tasks, and a good classic categorization task

In Fall 2021, Drew Shives and I worked out some potential pipelines involving JATOS to serve JsPsych experiments. One idea was to serve links (using JATOS) to experiment demos (programmed in jspsych). Participant data would be stored on the JATOS server, and participants would then be sent to an experiment completion page involving an interactive Shiny app. The Shiny app accesses the JATOS database, and allows display of summary data from the experiment. We got the pipeline working, but did not implement it.

In Spring 2022, we included a simple Stroop experiment demo in the attention learning module:

The demo displays participant data at the end of the experiment, and participant data is also stored on the JATOS server.

Summer 2022 plans are to create more experiment demos...
