equipment

The UVALAL’s research equipment consists of specialized hardware and software that are necessary to run our experiments.

The hardware includes an EyeLink Portable Duo eyetracker.

We also have a computer equipment that comprises desktops, laptops, and iPads, as well as different peripherals (e.g., headphones, microphones, audio cards, external hard drives) and recording devices (e.g., video and audio recorders).

The software used for the programming of eyetracking experiments are the SR Research Experiment Builder and the Data Viewer, and for the statistical analysis of all our data the R Package (R Core Team).

We make use of the following proficiency tests:

• offline proficiency tests
  • – PPVT^TM-4. Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, 4^th (Dunn and Dunn 2007)
  • – Plon-R. Prueba de lenguaje oral Navarra-Revisada (Aguinaga et al. 2005)
  • – Oxford Placement Test 1 and Oxford Placement Test 2 (Dave 2004)
• online proficiency tests (tokens purchased by the UVALAL)
  • – Cambridge English Placement Test
  • – Cambridge Young Learners Placement Test

We have built and run experimental tests via online tools such as Gorilla^TM (tokens purchased by the UVALAL).
