We're freed up to teach critical thinking

"Each year is collecting data from around 1,500 participants. And we're freed up to spend more time on data analysis"

We recruited 17,000 participants

"The experiment was picked up by BBC Radio 4 and spread through social media - at one point we had 17,000 participants"

We're transitioning our in-lab studies to Gorilla too

"I love Gorilla as experiment builder software so much that we're transitioning our in-lab studies to this too (leaving behind E-Prime, SuperLab and PsychoPy)"

I launched a study, went to lunch and came back to 400 participant responses

"Gorilla opens up a wide range of behavioural tasks including randomised trials and reaction time behaviour. It is easy to set up a task for participants to complete at home over the internet, so I can use it to collect useful behavioural data from participants across the UK. I launched a study recently, went to lunch and came back to 400 participant responses."

A Much Richer Learning Experience

"What we've managed to do with Gorilla is give students the tools and templates to make their own experiments, with minimal supervision. Students can go out and test a hypothesis via social media. Results flood in from all over the world, and they're creating this incredible range of studies. It's a much richer learning experience."
