updates to survey-template

[Sam Zorowitz]

after reading Pokropek et al. (2023), I was thinking it might be nice to add "areas of interest" to the survey-template plugin. the basic idea is to divide the screen into objects (e.g., survey instructions, item prompts, item responses) and track how/when each of these objects is interacted with. not only might be this helpful for detecting C/IE responding, but also might provide insights into participants' response processes (e.g., linearity of item responding, doubling-back, time taken per item). when paired with other design features (e.g., masking/blurring items unless hovered over), this could allow for a more accurate measure of per-item response times.

(some alternative ideas might simply be to present each item, one at a time, with an ability to navigate between items)

Formal research

• https://doi.org/10.1177/08944393221132644 (provides compelling evidence for dropping grid format in favor of "unfolding" format)
• https://doi.org/10.1177/0894439319834296 (some evidence for vertical over horizontal response format?)
• https://doi.org/10.12758/mda.2021.10 (some research on use of auto-forwarding, refs look helpful)

General idea

Seems like a horizontal display would make the most sense, such as in:
