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.
| Task | Purpose | Link |
| Sociolinguistics task | Participants are asked to listen to a conversation and answer several questions. | Demo experiment |
| Identification task | Participants are asked to listen to a conversation and identify what they heard between “pa” and “ba” by selecting a corresponding button on their electronic device. | Demo experiment |
