Train virtual dogs for research!

Hi everyone. One of my students is working on a project to better understand how dogs learn using computer models. Can you take 10-20 minutes to train some virtual dogs for us? It would help us out a lot, and you'd be totally cool in our book. It's anonymous, so we won't know what you decide.

Thanks!

    Doh! I tried to do it on my ipad but it doesn't work on the experiment part. So I have to do it again! Point of story: don't do it on your ipad.

    Is this the same one from before? I remember I found that one fiendishly difficult, but it was more about trying to use the program!

    Theresa, thanks for the heads up, I was about to try to do it on my iPad.

    Nope, it's new (and improved)! Although, don't expect too much yet. We're still asking some VERY basic questions about training here.

    Pretty sweet idea! Going to give it a run

    Thanks guys!

    My student tells me we're getting some good data. Please consider trying it if you haven't already.

    I'll share more about what we're doing once the data collection has completed.

    I played twice! and I apologize for the long writeups in the quiz at the end....bubble surveys seldom offer exactly what I want to say for a choice...

    Sorry everyone to drag up an old discussion, but my students are in need of some additional data. If you haven't yet trained our virtual dog, please consider taking a few minutes to help us out. It's for a good cause. :-) Thanks!

    The CIIGAR Lab at NCSU is conducting a study examining how people
    train. You can help us out by clicking the link below and training our
    simulated puppies under a variety of conditions. The time involved in
    the study should be no more than 20-40 minutes. If you agree, you’ll
    be asked to answer a few short questions before and after training
    each of up to four simulated puppies. Train one, train them all, you
    choose. No identifying information about you will be gathered.

    If you’re up for it, the study can be found here:

    If you have more questions about this study, please contact Robert
    Loftin (rtloftin@ncsu.edu) or Dr. David Robets (robetsd@csc.ncsu.edu).
