#PSYCHOPY TO JAVASCRIPT CODE#

Code ComponentsĪs anyone who has ever worked with a GUI for experimental generation knows, such builders are usually insufficient for more complex designs. As you witnessed in Chapter 2, experiments created via the Builder can be easily run both off- and online. If you don't want to code your entire experiment in JavaScript from scratch, you can only use the Builder if you want to run a study online. The reasons for this recommendation are manifold, from settings and timing-specific considerations, to the very convincing point of transferability. Critically, the developers of PsychoPy strongly recommend using the Builder and they always use it when building their own studies - even though they probably are the people least in need of a GUI. But you can't go the other way around - from Python code to Builder GUI. You can, however, compile your Builder experiment into not so easily readable Python code (usually good for quick glances under the hood). You can't switch back and forth between these two options for a single study. The Coder gives you more control and allows for a lot of customization, because your are essentially scripting everything from scratch. In PsychoPy you can create a study by using the Builder (as you did when creating the Stroop task), or by using the Coder. Using Python | JavaScript to modify experiment It might not always be necessary to meticulously go through the linked materials, but it will be extremely helpful to skim the contents of the link before proceeding with the chapter. We strongly recommend to follow the links we provide in all chapters. The aim of these chapters is not to be fully comprehensive, but to provide structure, guidance and systematize valuable external resources. (3) have spent some time reading through the documentation of Prolific. The prerequisites for successfully completing this chapter are: (1) have completed Chapters 1 & 2 (2) have an online Stroop task, which is set as RUNNING on Pavlovia Ch.2: 1.2. Subsequently, we will adjust the study to be compatible with recruitment via Prolific and actually collect one data set. In this chapter, we will modify our Stroop task with the help of Python and JavaScript code. We will use this chapter to make the transition from more abstract discussions to some actual real-life problems of online experimenting, by setting up an actual study and collecting real data.
