Expt running content - Prepping for participant
Before the participant arrives
Enter check_audioLevels
and follow on-screen instructions to check the participant's headphones and the experiment mic. New! Fall 2024 You only need to check the participant's headphones, not your own.
Set out a paper copy of the appropriate consent form (highlighted above) on the participant's desk.
Set the experiment mic gain (on the red Focusrite) to the 3:00 position.
Open the lab email and monitor for participant's arrival.
How to access the lab email
- In the web browser, open your personal UW email inbox through Outlook. You can do this through MyUW if needed.
- In the top right corner, click the circle with your profile picture/initials.
- Click Open another mailbox
- Enter speechmotor@waisman.wisc.edu and click Open
If it's the appointment time but the participant hasn't called/emailed yet
- Find the participant's phone number.
- If you have access to Qualtrics (ie if you're on this list), use the Finding Experiment Running Info KB page to find the participant and phone #
- If you don't have Qualtrics access, Slack the lab manager and ask for the phone number
- Wait 5 minutes past the scheduled appointment time, then call the participant.
- If they are at the building, on their way, or can arrive really soon, continue with the appointment
- If we have back-to-back participants such that them arriving late is going to mess up another participant, just tell them that the lab manager will email to reschedule
- You don't need to leave a message
When the participant arrives
They're supposed to either calling the phone in 544 or email speechmotor@waisman.wisc.edu
If they call, confirm they're in the Waisman Center lobby. If they email, send back a short reply like, "Be right there!"
Parking passes are available from the 2nd floor business office (by KeyWatcher)
Meet the participant downstairs
Greet them in the lobby, go upstairs, and direct them to 544A.
Participants can wear a mask anywhere in the building, but they MUST remove their mask during speaking tasks.
