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)"

Over 1,000 classic tasks ready for you to use
Clone ready-made samples to get started in seconds
Attention
Flanker Task
The classic Flanker Task (or Erikson Flanker Task) is a response inhibition test used to assess participants' ability to suppress responses
Preview
Executive Function
Stroop Task
The classic Stroop task - colour names match and mismatch text colour. Desktop version uses keyboard input, mobile version uses touch buttons
Preview
Language
Audio Naming Task
Participants hear a series of audio clips. You can increase difficulty using more complex audio clips, distortion or longer sentence recall
Preview
Memory
Digit Span
Participants are shown increasingly lengthy sequences of numbers and are asked to recall these by typing them into a text box
Preview
Perception
Thatcher Task
Participants are shown a series of faces, some with features or the whole face inverted. Participants have to detect if the face is natural or not
Preview
Bot Check
Visual Search Task
Easy for humans, hard for bots. One of many tasks you can add to your experiment to ensure data quality. Can you find the Y among the Xs?

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."
