在线数据收集已经开始给行为科学带来革命性的变化。然而，在网上进行精心控制的行为实验引入了许多新的技术和科学挑战。本文中描述的项目psiTurk是一个开源平台，可以帮助研究人员开发可以在互联网上进行的实验设计。该工具主要与亚马逊的土耳其机器人（Mechanical Turk）连接，后者是一个受欢迎的众包劳动力市场。本文描述了系统的基本架构，并向新用户介绍了系统的总体目标。psiTurk旨在减少研究人员开发在线实验的技术障碍，同时提高行为科学的透明度和协作性。
Online data collection has begun to revolutionize the behavioral sciences. However, conducting carefully controlled behavioral experiments online introduces a number of new of technical and scientific challenges. The project described in this paper, psiTurk, is an open-source platform which helps researchers develop experiment designs which can be conducted over the Internet. The tool primarily interfaces with Amazon's Mechanical Turk, a popular crowd-sourcing labor market. This paper describes the basic architecture of the system and introduces new users to the overall goals. psiTurk aims to reduce the technical hurdles for researchers developing online experiments while improving the transparency and collaborative nature of the behavioral sciences.
