In this Methods Showcase Article, we outline a workflow for running behavioral experiments online, with a focus on experiments that rely on presentation of complex stimuli and measurement of reaction times, which includes many psycholinguistic experiments. The workflow that we describe here relies on three tools: OpenSesame/OSWeb (open source) provides a user-friendly graphical interface for developing experiments; JATOS (open source) is server software for hosting experiments; and Prolific (commercial) is a platform for recruiting participants. These three tools integrate well with each other and together provide a workflow that requires little technical expertise. We discuss, and illustrate through an example study, several challenges that are associated with running online experiments, including temporal precision, the implementation of counterbalancing, data quality, and issues related to privacy and ethics. We conclude that these challenges are real but surmountable, and that in many cases online experiments are a viable alternative to laboratory-based experiments.

使用 OpenSesame 和 OSWeb 进行在线语言实验

在这篇方法展示文章中，我们概述了在线运行行为实验的工作流程，重点关注依赖于复杂刺激呈现和反应时间测量的实验，其中包括许多心理语言学实验。我们在此描述的工作流程依赖于三个工具： OpenSesame/OSWeb（开源）为开发实验提供了一个用户友好的图形界面；JATOS（开源）是用于托管实验的服务器软件；Prolific（商业）是一个招募参与者的平台。这三个工具彼此很好地集成在一起，提供了一个几乎不需要技术专业知识的工作流程。我们通过示例研究讨论并说明了与运行在线实验相关的几个挑战，包括时间精度，平衡的实施、数据质量以及与隐私和道德相关的问题。我们得出结论，这些挑战是真实存在但可以克服的，并且在许多情况下，在线实验是基于实验室的实验的可行替代方案。
