“…The linear relationship between the size of the symbol set and the reaction time has been reliably confirmed and researchers repeatedly reported r 2 values of .99 and higher [35,8]. This is the primary finding that we aimed to replicate.…”

Web-based experimentation with uncompensated and unsupervised samples has the potential to support the replication, verification, extension and generation of new results with larger and more diverse sample populations than previously seen. We introduce the experimental online platform LabintheWild, which provides participants with personalized feedback in exchange for participation in behavioral studies. In comparison to conventional in-lab studies, LabintheWild enables the recruitment of participants at larger scale and from more diverse demographic and geographic backgrounds. We analyze Google Analytics data, participants' comments, and tweets to discuss how participants hear about the platform, and why they might choose to participate. Analyzing three example experiments, we additionally show that these experiments replicate previous in-lab study results with comparable data quality.

“…This study has been replicated and extended by numerous researchers (e.g., [6,7,8,9,36,37]). All variants of this study have a common basic structure: In each experimental block, participants are first presented with a sequence of several (typically 1-6) symbols to memorize (Figure 2 left).…”

“…A different performance is generally found when having to detect the presence or absence of a target (Corbin and Marquer, 2008). For present-target trials, a self-terminating search is triggered, that is ended when the target is encountered.…”

“…Since it is difficult to decide whether the exponential trend still holds when the positive set is large, we use the reaction time of the cued recall as a conservative estimate for the free recall which is used in these schemes. According to the experimental results in [7,23], the formula for the reaction time of the cued recall is RT D .0:3964 C 0:0383 ' k/, where ' is the ratio of the cued recall compared to single item recognition (' D 1:969 in [23]), while is the additional penalty if the subject is required to simultaneously recall the position of an item ( D 1:317 in [7]). …”
