<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We'd like to introduce<a href="http://www.findingfive.com/"><span style="color:rgb(126,87,194)"> </span><b><span style="color:blue">FindingFive</span></b></a>: a one-stop platform for online
behavioral research. Born from our own experiences (and frustrations) with
running Amazon Mechanical Turk studies, FindingFive is designed to greatly
simplify the process of creating, running, and managing web-based studies for
psychologists, linguists, and cognitive scientists.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">We really like FindingFive for four reasons:</span></font></p>

can be done on the FindingFive website, from creating your study to launching
sessions to obtaining participants’ data in CSV, completely eliminating the
need to set up your own programs and servers. FindingFive is dual-platform too
– it works with and without Amazon Mechanical Turk.</span></span></font></li></ul></div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal"></span></span></font><div><ul><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal"><span><span style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant:normal"></span></span></span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal">The Study
Specification Grammar used to rapidly create studies is designed by researchers

every FindingFive study is built from 4 core components - </span><span style="color:windowtext">stimuli</span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal">, </span><span style="color:windowtext">responses</span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal">, </span><span style="color:windowtext">trial</span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal"> </span><span style="color:windowtext">templates</span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal">, and </span><span style="color:windowtext">procedure</span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal">. These common building blocks combine to form a study, and
can be tweaked to implement flexible experimental designs.</span></span></font></li></ul></div><div><ul><li><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal"><span><span style="font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal;font-feature-settings:normal;font-kerning:auto;font-variant:normal"></span></span></span><span style="color:windowtext;font-style:normal">FindingFive
