BuildÂing up your experiment togethÂer with the support team! WhenÂevÂer you have a doubt, they propose the best soluÂtion for your unique experÂiÂmenÂtal design in a matter of hours. They listen to what exactly you need, and sumÂmaÂrize how to impleÂment it! Thank you for such a fruitÂful colÂlabÂoÂraÂtion. You speed up our science!

I am masÂsiveÂly impressed with Gorilla. Logged on for the first time yesÂterÂday at lunchtime. Had a demo experiment ready for stuÂdents to adapt by 6pm the very same day.

My DirecÂtor and I think that your Gorilla platÂform is excelÂlent. It took me only two days (with no prior expeÂriÂence) to set up the Experiment from start to finish, with a someÂwhat complex strucÂture for a list experiment. We will defÂiÂniteÂly do our online experÂiÂments on your platÂform going forward.

Wow, I love Gorilla… Was just messing around trying to see if it could do what we needed for a project, ended up creÂatÂing an entire demo version comÂplete with all counÂterÂbalÂancÂing ready for the real stimuli to be added later. It’s so intuÂitive and clear. Well done Gorilla!

From an experÂiÂmenÂtal design/coding perÂspecÂtive, this was one of our most chalÂlengÂing Covid studies. GrateÂful for Gorilla which enabled us to turn a complex design on paper into a workÂable experiment over the course of a (long) lockÂdown weekend in 2020.

There are few things in acadÂeÂmia that I recÂomÂmend so wholeÂheartÂedÂly. You managed to create a platÂform difÂferÂent than anyÂthing else that’s availÂable. It’s so intuÂitive and yet verÂsaÂtile and powÂerÂful. Well done and thank you for your great work!

I used Gorilla to build my MRes experÂiÂments which involve parÂticÂiÂpants having their attenÂtion trained whilst I measure their reacÂtion times. The program is flexÂiÂble, easy to use, and the Gorilla support team are fantastic!

I finally had some time to sit through the experiment again yesÂterÂday and it looks absoluteÂly amazing! And I’m even more amazed that it took me less than two weeks to set it all up. Thanks for making this possible!

Open MateÂriÂals is so powÂerÂful and helpful. I cloned three tasks and adapted another. So that removed half the work I needed to do. It saved me so much time. Special thanks to Eva Poort!

Gorilla lets me take my experÂiÂments online quickly and effiÂcientÂly. The clear and straightÂforÂward interÂface allows me to map out the logic of my experÂiÂmenÂtal designs, whilst its modular nature helps me to build and test comÂpoÂnents as I go. Taking my research online will draÂmatÂiÂcalÂly increase my sample size, and help me to reach groups under-repÂreÂsenÂtÂed in my field.

The interÂface for buildÂing experÂiÂments is very clean and easy to use, even for really complex designs (e.g., counÂterÂbalÂancÂing, difÂferÂent comÂpoÂnents, branchÂing based on perÂforÂmance in a given task, rediÂrectÂing back to ProÂlifÂic). I can’t say enough good things about their support docÂuÂmenÂtaÂtion for researchers; it’s quite lovely.

I was a first year PhD student. I needed to create a task which was going to be a real headache. I had to contact the researchers at MIT who had designed it, ask them for their super speÂcifÂic stimuli (which required highly speÂcialised recordÂing equipÂment to produce), and then design the task exactly as it was written out in their pubÂliÂcaÂtion. This was my first experiment and I was so stressed out. The surÂprise? Someone had already built the exact task in Gorilla and shared it on Open MateÂriÂals. I cloned it and texted my superÂviÂsor, ‘Done! What next?

Gorilla allows us to effiÂcientÂly collect large, diverse samples of parÂticÂiÂpants that are often unfeaÂsiÂble to obtain in the lab. The task builder makes it posÂsiÂble to build pilot experÂiÂments within a short space of time, while also allowÂing the flexÂiÂbilÂiÂty to impleÂment more sophisÂtiÂcatÂed psyÂchophysÂiÂcal designs.

As a BehavÂiourÂal EcoÂnomÂics MSc student studyÂing an intenÂsive one year course alongÂside full-time work, Gorilla has been invaluÂable. I have no idea how I would have setup my experiment without the platÂform and its amazing team! It’s really great to use whatÂevÂer level your coding skills are. If you know a little bit of css/html, you can use this in the main Task Editor to cusÂtomise existÂing temÂplates. If you’re more advanced, the Code Editor interÂface gives you great flexÂiÂbilÂiÂty in using html/javascript etc. so you can really push your experÂiÂmenÂtal design forward.

In the last audiÂtoÂry study I ran online with Gorilla and ProÂlifÂic, of the 1020 tested parÂticÂiÂpants, we only had to exclude 60 parÂticÂiÂpants (5.9%) due to poor data quality, which includÂed failure to meet our a priori incluÂsion criÂteÂria for accuÂraÂcy, headÂphone use, and comÂpletÂed trials. The data quality — once you’ve honed your proÂtoÂcol — is excellent.

Gorilla is designed for psyÂcholÂoÂgists, so it has all the relÂeÂvant options. I’ve found it really easy to use and very flexible.

Gorilla rescued my disÂserÂtaÂtion! They have the best support team in the world. My experiment required too many cusÂtomized funcÂtions, which is quite time-conÂÂsumÂing. However, Gorilla helped me to achieve everyÂthing! In order to have a clear underÂstandÂing of my demand, they arranged a Skype meeting with me and coached me step by step. They reviewed my codes and answered my quesÂtions with great patience. HonÂestÂly, they are like my second-superÂviÂÂsor. I deeply appreÂciÂate this wonÂderÂful platÂform and amazing team!

The traÂdiÂtionÂal ways for higher eduÂcaÂtion stuÂdents to memÂoÂrize and recall mateÂriÂals in the visual domains (e.g. in Design & ArchiÂtecÂture) can be boring and inefÂfecÂtive. We seek to assist stuÂdents to learn and engage with visual mateÂriÂals more effecÂtiveÂly by utiÂlizÂing PerÂcepÂtuÂal LearnÂing (PL). PL refers to expeÂriÂence-induced changes in the extracÂtion of inforÂmaÂtion (Eleanor Gibson, 1969) and it forms the basis of expert pattern recogÂniÂtion ability. Gorilla is a SaaS platÂform that lets me focus on designÂing and impleÂmentÂing learnÂing experÂiÂments for PL without worÂryÂing about the back-end system. It proÂvides a ground for rapid proÂtoÂtypÂing of various time-senÂsiÂÂtive learnÂing activÂiÂties for PL. A unique advanÂtage of Gorilla is that it proÂvides reliÂable time indicÂtors to measure parÂticÂiÂpants’ perÂforÂmances effortÂlessÂly. Gorilla is a great product with a reaÂsonÂable learnÂing curve and proÂvidÂing great value to researchers conÂductÂing online experÂiÂments. Thanks for the great support service, too.

I don’t have the words to express how impressed I am with the kindÂness and speedÂiÂness of you & your team. Thanks a million. I’m a very happy and loyal cusÂtomer already and will make sure to recÂomÂmend Gorilla at my upcomÂing conÂferÂence later this month.

Gorilla is a great tool if you want to run experÂiÂments online, because it posÂsessÂes such a great flexÂiÂbilÂiÂty; you can design your experiment by simply using the graphÂiÂcal user interÂface, code the entire experiment in javascript or use a comÂbiÂnaÂtion of both. This makes it really easy and fast to use — for a wide audiÂence! FurÂtherÂmore, the support I have expeÂriÂenced is great: quick, clear and supportive.

I’m using Gorilla for a variety of audiÂtoÂry task where parÂticÂiÂpants hear and respond to speech and other sounds. Gorilla is a great platÂform. ExperÂiÂments run in web browsers so they can be done anyÂwhere, e.g. an interÂnet-conÂnecÂtÂed comÂputÂer in the lab or on another conÂtiÂnent — no need to compile code or check out expenÂsive licensÂes from a server. Gorilla streamÂlines colÂlabÂoÂraÂtion. ColÂlabÂoÂraÂtors can log into their own Gorilla accounts to share and view tasks, make edits to the tasks, check experiment progress and downÂload data. The built-in version control ensures we always know exactly which version of a task was run. Support for the platÂform is pheÂnomÂeÂnal — CaulÂdron staff respond quickly to quesÂtions and have even created custom feaÂtures and written bespoke code in order to get things running smoothly.

I am used to coding my own tasks and was expectÂing to have to code a bit on Gorilla for flexÂiÂbilÂiÂty, but I was able to conÂstruct a full experiment in about a week with no issues at all – I was delighted
