JsPsych

This page demonstrates how to build online experiments using jsPsych. jsPsych is a JavaScript library for running behavioral experiments in a web browser. It contains a core library, which serves as the engine to run experiments, and a set of plugins, each of which defines the kind of tasks that subjects perform in experiments. There are two demo experiments in this tutorial: a sociolinguistics task and an identification task.
