Subject: Re: Software for internet-based auditory testing From: Sam Mathias <smathias@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2012 09:32:38 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--14dae93410e9aa24c104ce24f040 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable During my PhD I created this online test using adobe flash: www.auditorytest.zxq.net I used it to search for potential participants who were poor at pitch discrimination. [Mathias, Micheyl, & Bailey (2010) JASA, 127, 3026-3037]. I found flash to be highly versatile, have good functionality for auditory playback, and not too difficult to learn. However, I think support for this software is really dwindling these days (being replaced by HTML 5?) so it may be obsolete soon. It was also horrendously expense: I coded it with the 30-day trial version so I didn't have to pay for it.

We would like to implement something along these lines, and I am wondering if any of you who have experience with it have recommendations (for or against) software to use. We are looking for something reasonably inexpensive and simple to program that would allow us to present audio stimuli and collect behavioral responses, ideally with response times although that may not be so simple I realize. > > Any advice would be welcome.
