Build with Gorilla
Gorilla Experiment Builder allows you to build your online experiments without the stress of coding. Whether you're studying decision-making, social interaction, or cognitive processes, our intuitive graphical interface allows you to collect cognitive and behavioral data with validated reaction times.
Our Multiplayer tool is ideal for behavioural economists and social psychologists. You have access to all the features of our powerful task builder and up to 8 participants can take part together. Set up a prisoner's dilemma, investigate group decision-making, or examine the dynamics of cooperation and competition with text or video communication. Whether you're interested in the mechanics of language turn-taking or the social pressure when participants can see other how others perform, Gorilla provides the flexibility and control you need.
