About the Speakers
Jo Evershed works as a Research Specialist at Gorilla Experiment Builder. She completed her degree in Mathematics, Computer Science and Cognitive Science at the University of Grenoble (France), before obtaining her PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Leeds (UK) in 2022. Her thesis, which examined the impact of bilingualism and ageing on the communication between the cerebral hemispheres, has shown her the benefits of online research and she decided to join Gorilla to work on improving behavioral science as a whole.
Clare Renshaw is the Communications Lead at Gorilla Experiment Builder, and runs the Gorilla Grants program. She completed her degree in Psychology at the University of Warwick. She also holds an MSc in Applied Psychology and Economic Behaviour from the University of Bath, where she would have saved a lot of stress if she could have used Gorilla for her thesis project on whether defaults are mediated by organisational trust!
Federica Ruzzante is a PhD candidate in Cognitive Neuroscience at IMT Lucca, and her research explores the intersection of decision-making, reasoning, and social media. As both a behavioral scientist and a frequent social media user, she studies how social media platforms influence cognitive processes, specifically in the context of decision-making. We know that cognitive biases play a huge role in our everyday choices, but do these biases become even stronger in the fast-paced world of social media? And if they do, what are the underlying mechanisms behind this amplification?
Yue Li is a PhD candidate at Purdue University and the 2023 recipient of the Gorilla and Prolific Research Grant. Her dissertation research focuses on English language production, using a picture-based elicitation methodology fully implemented on the Gorilla platform.

+ It seems your tool can eliminate, for example, lab bias (people often behave differently in lab environments than in natural environments - and today, most of us feel naturally in front of a screen). On the other hand, the ability to control the course of the experiment could be minimal. How do we know the respondent conducted the experiment as it should have been? In other words, does Gorilla offer tools to eliminate respondents' biases? In the case of eye-tracking, how are measurement calibration and accuracy ensured?
+ Could we “manipulate” other parts of the 'shop builder' e.g. the Privacy notice?

Map Causality in Qualitative Data with CausalMap
How to code, analyse and visualise qualitative information about causal connections
In this webinar, the Causal Map team will introduce you to causal mapping, a way to find out about people’s mental models of the world: what they think causes what, based on interview transcripts or other documents. We will show you that Causal Map does what no other software can: it enables you to directly code, organise, consolidate and understand the causal claims contained within narrative information and present the results as a variety of compelling graphics which we call “maps”.
How to code, analyse and visualise qualitative information about causal connections with Causal Map
Jaimie was carrying out research on social capital in Mali. She wanted to know what kind of contribution informal tea clubs might make to different aspects social capital, and via what pathways or mechanisms. She used Causal Map to code her interview transcripts using causal Qualitative Data Analysis and generate causal maps to visualise the causal pathways. It worked great, and her paper is currently in the “revise and resubmit” stage.
About the Tool
Causal mapping has been used since 1976 in areas from ecology to business management. It is a rigorous, qualitative research approach which helps researchers quickly cut to the chase in answering some of the most important research questions: what causes what, in the minds of key stakeholders? The Causal Map web app (which is free to use for small studies) is a new way to make causal mapping more accessible to researchers.

Take Better Research Notes with Scrintal
Scrintal is a web app that combines mind mapping with the power of networked note-taking. So you get crystal clear in your thinking, write creatively and share your findings easily. Scrintal works best when you use the zettelkasten method developed by Niklas Luhmann.
In this tutorial we introduce Scrintal as a new tool to organize literature reviews. Scrintal is a web-based application which allows for taking extensive literature notes. Using the tool, researchers can organize, and visually connect the literature notes with bidirectional links. Scrintal is built upon the Zettelkasten and Evergreen note-taking techniques which aim at building an interconnected personal knowledge system, rather than a collection of ideas and notes.
This tutorial goes through the process of how to organize the literature and research notes according to the three principles of Zettelkasten: 1) creating atomic notes which include only one main idea, 2) creating hyper-textual notes which are linked to the other notes, 3) creating personal notes which are blends of the literature and personal thoughts.

Gamifying Cognitive Tasks with Gorilla
How to gamify cognitive tasks to increase participant engagement - A Gorilla Masterclass
How to gamify cognitive tasks to increase participant engagement is an online tutorial that we held in May 2022. Here we share the webinar video with you. We have also added the questions that were asked during the live session and their responses. If you have a question, please send it through using the form below, and we will follow up with a response and any other resources.
More engaging experiments means better quality data - participants are more motivated and attentive and are less likely to underperform due to boredom or fatigue.

Q&A
+ How is analysis done with games in research?
+ Does your platform handle audio files?
+ What kind of research questions you can answer with this game?
+ Can you apply gaming techniques to online survey completion?
+ Can we gamify physical tasks? Are such gamification complicated (e.g., requiring IoT, etc)?
+ Is gorilla providing different gamified experience for every experiment/task?
+ I would be interesting in exploring whether this could be applied to more complex thought processes. Can you run sequential or choice dependant programmes - leading to different outcomes?
+ Will some of those games you’ve shown be available for replication?
+ Does Gorilla provide templates for various cognitive tasks, or do we have to "hard-code" the tasks into the gamification?
+ Can you possibly do a demo for the multiplayer? Or a “step by step” tutorial?
+ Is multi-character input (e.g. words, phrases) an option for responses you can collect?
+ Please explain how you’d collect data/ demographics from the game.
+ How to get permission from the users to gather all that data, is it okay to use a disclaimer page so users click accept on them?

Scholarcy
Scholarcy is a service that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to read and condense academic papers into referenced summaries. Either upload your PDFs to Scholarcy, or give Scholarcy the public URL of a PDF and it will read the paper, break it down into readable chunks, and summarise it automatically. It will also read the bibliography and generate a link for each reference so that you can download cited papers.

Designing Trust with Knowsi
Knowsi is a privacy-first platform for researchers to collect, track and manage participant consent. Consent is vital to performing ethical research, but the operational difficulty of tracking consent and the need to adhere to privacy regulations presents barriers for researchers. In the webinar, Andrew covers top tips and key pitfalls to look out for.
We hosted a tutorial with our SAGE 2020 Concept Grant winner, Andrew Lovett-Barron, on how to design trust relationships with participants in research using Knowsi. Here we share the webinar video with you. We have also added the questions that were asked during the live session and their responses. If you have a question, please send it through using the form below, and we will follow up with a response and any other resources.
Designing a research program is a difficult task. So, it comes as no surprise that often the participant experience gets cut in favor of focusing time and resources on refining your interview guide, recruiting more participants, or wrangling your Research Ethics Board. In this tutorial, Andrew Lovett-Baron proposes a structure for applying the front-stage/back-stage model articulated in Service Design to designing the participant experience.
