PsyToolkit is a free-to-use platform designed for researchers, educators, and students to run and design psychological experiments online. It provides a range of questionnaires and tasks commonly used in psychological research, making it easier for those unfamiliar with programming to conduct experiments.
jsPsych is a JavaScript library that provides a framework for creating behavioral experiments that run in a web browser. It focuses on flexibility, enabling users to customize their experiments fully.
Cognition is an online platform that complements jsPsych, allowing researchers to host, share, and manage their jsPsych experiments. By handling the technical aspects like hosting and data collection, Cognition empowers researchers to focus solely on experiment design.
While PsyToolkit offers an entry point for those new to online experiments, jsPsych combined with Cognition provides an advanced, customizable, and streamlined approach to modern psychological research. With the flexibility of jsPsych and the infrastructure support of Cognition, researchers can push the boundaries of online experiments.
