Getting Practical


Move from theory to practice with ready-made materials, samples and guided walkthroughs.

Classic Psychology Tasks

Explore how well-known paradigms, such as Stroop, Flanker and Go/No Go, can be implemented in Gorilla using our Classic Psychology Tasks guides.

Sample Tasks

Get hands-on with pre-built sample tasks and experiments using our Samples Library! Learn how to take an existing sample task and customise it to fit your own research question or teaching objective, without starting from scratch, by watching our Understanding Samples video.

Build-Along

Prefer to learn by doing? Watch a guided build-along session where a Stroop experiment is built step-by-step, illustrating best practices along the way.

Sharing

Browse experiments and tasks shared by other researchers and educators on Gorilla Open Materials. These materials can be cloned, adapted and reused by anyone with a Gorilla account.

Learn how to clone tasks, share materials and work with students via Gorilla's Collaboration and Sharing tools.
