Explore a collection of experiment templates designed for use with the PennController for Internet Based Experiments, tailored to paradigms common in the humanities, linguistics, and social sciences. These templates are intended to serve as a foundation for researchers conducting online experiments, offering easy customization and deployment for various tasks.
Full experiments contained in this project are:
- Self-paced reading with comprehension questions
- Self-paced reading with an acceptability judgment task
- Acceptability judgment task
- Sentence completion
- Forced choice task
- Free answer
Eyetracking experiment: reading time
Simple reading time experiment template for SR Research EyeLink 1000. Participants view a fixation point in the middle of the first letter of the sentence. After fixating the point, the whole sentence appears, as well as a second fixation point. When participants fixate a second fixation point or read the sentence for longer than 20000 ms, the sentence disappears. Some sentences are followed by a comprehension question with two answer alternatives.
Self paced reading
A self-paced reading experiment template with a moving window paradigm.
Participants view a fixation point in the middle of the screen. Then the
sentence appears with the letters replaced by underscores. Participants
press the space bar in order to reveal a sentence segment. After having
pressed the space bar again, the segment disappears and the subsequent
segment appears. This continues until the last segment in the sentence.
Some sentences are followed by a comprehension question with two answer
alternatives. This experiment contains a script by Jan Anderssen
(jan\[at\]linguist.umass.edu).
Acceptability judgment task
An online questionnaire experiment. Participants read a sentence and are simultaneously presented with a 7-point Likert scale. They must to rate how natural the sentence sounds to them before proceeding to the next sentence.
Forced choice task

An online questionnaire experiment. Participants read a sentence and are
simultaneously presented with a forced-choice question with two answer
alternatives. They must choose one of the answers in order to proceed to
the next sentence.
