Behavioural task scripts

This page provides links to external resources and repositories for scripts and templates to design and run behavioural experiments. These templates serve as starting points for developing tasks used in Hoplab.

Templates are organized into two sections:

  • On-site experiments: Designed for in-person, on-site testing. Can be adapted for online platforms if needed.
  • Online experiments: Optimized for deployment on platforms like Pavlovia, using jsPsych or PsychoPy.

On-site experiments

  • Inverse MDS task


    Visual similarity multi-arrangement task, using inverse MDS, based upon Kriegeskorte & Mur (2012).

    This paradigm can be implemented online, through the Meadows research platform. This platform asks a small fee per participant.

    This paradigm can also be implemented on-site. The link below refers to a Teams repository with a manual and code written in Matlab for on-site experiments. This code was for example used by Bracci et al. (2015).
