📢 @UCLPALS alumna @EvershedJo has been recognised as one of @ComputerWeekly's Rising Star Women in Tech for her work with @GorillaPsyc. In this Q&A she talks about her career pathway, learnings at UCL and advice to girls pursuing a career in STEM. ➡️ bit.ly/40srke4

As conference season comes to an end, we’d love to share with you all some of the new features and improvements we've been showcasing at this summer's conferences. We're on a mission to enhance researchers’ experiences and boost the Gorilla tooling! 🦍🚀 1/11

Did you see Gorilla in the news today? 📃@PLOSBiology "Inexperienced humans understand common nonhuman ape gestures" journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… Impressive research by @kirstyegraham @NakedPrimate @PrittyPG @PatrickGrosz @Hendercub! Funded by us & @ERC_Research!

QB2 will bring us near feature parity with Qualtrics. With a Task Builder, Shop Builder, Game Builder & Multiplayer, why have just a survey builder when you could have an everything builder (and at a lower cost!) What would you do with the money & time saved using @GorillaPsyc?

Afternoon @GorillaPsyc ! As per MOTD, tomorrow mornings deployment requires some database maintenance + server downtime. We've scheduled this for the wee hours - 4.30am BST - to minimise disruption. I'll be live updating here while drinking coffee! #Deployment #Coffee

First, we wanted to consolidate our tooling - QB1 and TB1 had very different interfaces, making the leap between them harder than it needed to be. Now QB2, shares the same interface and interactions as TB2, a feature that @Jade_Pickering is very excited for! #uiux 2/n

We are @Escop2022! If you use 🦍 come & say “Hi!”. If not come discover the all-in-one powerful & easy-to-use platform for: ✅ Reaction time tasks ✅ Auditory, drawing, navigation expts ✅ Gamified tasks ✅ UX studies ✅ Shopping tasks ✅ Multiplayer ✅ Surveys ✅ More!

Good afternoon @GorillaPsyc ! For your afternoon reading pleasure, I bring you the first Release Notes of April: #releasenotes?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=releasenotes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">support.gorilla.sc/support/releas… where I get all excited about some Task Builder 2 highlights (again!) and fix/enhance a few other things along the way!

@LucyCheke @EvershedJo @GorillaPsyc @PeteEtchells @hugospiers @TraversEoin @CatNaughtie Sooooon (so long as I can persuade Josh to downgrade his ambitions for 50 People Playing At Once And Also Lasers)

Josh (6) and @nikoraisu have been creating another game in @GorillaPsyc game builder. @PeteEtchells @hugospiers @LucyCheke @TraversEoin @CatNaughtie #navigation #psychology #jdm

@CPMetcalfe @EvershedJo @GorillaPsyc @PeteEtchells @hugospiers @LucyCheke @TraversEoin @CatNaughtie Yes! I’d class that as light-to-medium load. A Bit Of Thinking required, but not yet due a Bonfire Of Distractions

If you login to Gorilla today, you're sure of a big surprise. If you login to Gorilla today, excitement in great supplies! For every user that ever there was, Will gather there for certain because, Today's the day @GorillaPsyc launches Task Buiiiilder 2!

IT BEGINS

@EvershedJo We’ve handbrake-turned onto Peppa Pig now at Gorilla HQ, but link here for anyone who wants to try what we’ve built so far: research.sc/participant/lo…

Add some simple feedback. Next reward effects. Who’s better on farts for wrong answers?

The problem with letting @nikoraisu build Game Builder is that he’s now teaching DS6 how to make #math games. #gamification #education #kids

@silveycat @WaterstonesCamb Also importantly a gateway drug to Goodnight Everyone, which remains my ultimate ok-it’s-actually-going-to-sleep-time-now nuclear option, as if you read it soporifically enough even the most determinedly awake child doesn’t stand a chance

@silveycat @WaterstonesCamb Haha! He has excellent taste. Have you tried Shh We Have A Plan by Chris Haughton? Less dark and surreal, but not dissimilar energy

Pretty amazing to go into a bookshop 6 months after my book came out & see it still in the front display. Thanks so much @WaterstonesCamb!

@ekadamer @EvershedJo No! No. Two is plenty

@EvershedJo I did study developmental psych for my masters however in this case I’d say you need a bigger sample size 😘😘

My 2.5 year old daughter is able to play games that my son struggled with age 4 (ish). Dev Psych - I’m just curious. Is this … #psychology #development
