Abstract
To test the effectiveness of the Internet-based instrument PsyToolkit for use with complex choice tasks, a replicability study was conducted wherein an existing psycholinguistic paradigm was utilised to compare results obtained through the Internet-based implementation of PsyToolkit with those obtained through the laboratory-based implementation of E-Prime 3.0. The results indicated that PsyToolkit is a viable method for conducting both general and psycholinguistic specific experiments that utilise complex response time tasks, with effects found to replicate for both response choice and response time.

The aim of this study was to test the replicability of the Internet-based instrument PsyToolkit when compared to the laboratory-based implementation of E-Prime 3.0 for use with complex choice experiments through a psycholinguistic paradigm
Summary
The advent of the Internet opened new avenues of exploration for us as psychological researchers. Internet-based experimental instruments allow us to conduct experiments with demographically and culturally diverse samples, to recruit large subject pools in less time, to avoid organisational issues such as scheduling conflicts, to save costs related to laboratory space, equipment, personnel hours, and administration, and to increase our ability to conduct international experiments [1,2,3]. For these benefits to be worthwhile we must be able to trust Internet-based instruments to accurately record participants’ responses, in terms of both the actual responses as well as their intrinsic characteristics, such as response times. The current study investigates this particular issue by testing the replicability of the Internet-based implementation of PsyToolkit for use with paradigms requiring complex Choice Response Time (CRT) tasks.
