This repository contains code for running online a metacognition task from:
Rouault, M., Seow, T., Gillan, C. M., & Fleming, S. M. (2018). Psychiatric symptom dimensions are associated with dissociable shifts in metacognition but not task performance. Biological psychiatry, 84(6), 443-451.
There are three folders containing similar versions of the task in three different languages.
- French
This version corresponds to Experiment 2 of the paper (staircased). Note that the staircase can easily be removed if required.
- SwissGerman
This contains two versions, corresponding to Experiment 1 (not staircased) and Experiment 2 (staircased) from the paper.
- English
This version corresponds to Experiment 2 of the paper (staircased). Note that the staircase can easily be removed if required. It also includes a folder containing code for running online the battery of questionnaires and IQ test, and a MATLAB script for preprocessing the questionnaire data.
All experiments make use of the following package: jsPsych version 4.3:
De Leeuw, J. R. (2015). jsPsych: A JavaScript library for creating behavioral experiments in a Web browser. Behavior research methods, 47(1), 1-12.
To collect online data from Amazon Mechanical Turk or Prolific Academic, you will need an online database, such as MySQL.
