How to collect psycholinguistic data from home: Introduction to crowdsourcing tools
March 24, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EDT
“How to collect psycholinguistic data from home: Introduction to crowdsourcing tools”
Host: Victor Kuperman
Date: Tuesday, March 24, 2020
Time: 1 p.m. – 2 p.m. EST (GMT -4)
Ability to collect experimental data outside of the lab is of great importance for reaching out to populations outside of university convenience subject pools. This importance is even greater when lab testing is undesirable. This first session of “open office hours” will introduce rich possibilities for data collection using crowdsourcing tools like Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (mturk.com). We will cover several basic types of experiments (surveys; and collection of ratings, linguistic judgments, and written responses), and discuss practicalities of online testing. Several small experiments will be created and results collected and discussed.
No prior knowledge is expected. The session is designed for 20-30 minutes of an informal presentation, followed by the Q&A. Ideas for experiments are very welcome.
