Introducing Gorilla Presents

A new webinar series all about behavioural science online

Every month we will be inviting a panel of experts to discuss a hot topic in the field of online behavioural science.

If there’s a topic you’d like us to discuss you can tweet us using the hashtag #GorillaPresents.

Gorilla Presents…

…is taking a break until the autumn while our team work on putting together the BeOnline Conference. It’s the place to be if you want to learn more about online research methods.

In the meantime, you can watch our most recent Gorilla Presents, all about improving participant engagement, here:

Many researchers worry about:

Finding engaged participants
Participants not being in a controlled environment
Whether participants are paying attention

In other words, getting high-quality data out the other end of their study.

In this webinar, Andrew Gordon from Prolific will present the techniques Prolific uses to maintain a pool of engaged participants, and Jo Evershed from Gorilla will be discussing the checks you can build into your tasks to filter out disengaged participants.

Together, these elements deliver you high-quality data.

Andrew Gordon

Research Consultant, Prolific

Andrew Gordon, PhD, is Prolific’s Research Consultant. Dr Gordon completed a BSc in Psychology at Roehampton University, followed by an MSc in Neuropsychology at the University of Bristol, and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience also at the University of Bristol examining the neural underpinning of reliance on misinformation. Before working for Prolific he spent two years as a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, Davis, working on creating new behavioural and functional imaging paradigms for assessing cognitive control in children with ASD. At Prolific he works directly with researchers to make sure that they get the most out of Prolific and supports them at each stage of the research process.
