Research participants wanted: Adults aged 20-40

Researchers are looking for 20-40 year olds to take part in a study on cognitive functions and communication skills.

Participant requirements

* Native or advanced speakers of English

* Aged between 20-40

* Have no history of hearing or language impairment and have normal or corrected-to-normal vision

Take part in the study

In the first task, you’ll be instructed to count tones played on a computer. The second task involves naming images displayed on an i-pad such that the experimenter is able to identify them (this task will be audio recorded for analysis). Finally, there is a brief language background questionnaire.

Testing takes 30 minutes and is administered in the University of Edinburgh’s Psychology Building (7 George Square, central campus).

Participants will be paid £5 (cash payment) for contributing to this research.

Testing will take place until the end of July. For further information or to register your interest, please contact Madeleine Long (mlong@ed.ac.uk).
