Compensation:

Study Activity:
In this study, we’re exploring how children and young adults learn new words in a fun, game-like setting. In the game, you’ll hear animal names in a new language (Danish – don’t worry, we’ll teach you!) and tap the matching animal picture on the screen. You’ll practice these word-picture matches, get feedback, and then we’ll test how well you’ve learned the new animals. The whole experience is designed to feel like an adventure, with levels, rewards, and a fun mascot to guide you through each stage.

You’ll take part in one in-person session, lasting approximately 45 minutes.
Compensation:
You’ll receive a $20 Amazon gift card, and convenient, free parking is included.
Study Activity:
In this study, we’re interested in how people learn and remember new associations between shapes and sounds. You’ll first get a chance to freely explore and decide which sounds you think go with which shapes. Then you’ll be tested by seeing a shape paired with two different sounds — your job is to pick which sound you think is the correct match. You’ll get feedback so you can learn as you go. Later, you’ll pair the sounds and shapes again based on what you have learned.
