Healthy Volunteers


Who can participate in this study?

Children aged 9-12 with typical hearing, normal or corrected-to-normal vision (i.e., eyeglasses), and who are fluent in English.

What is involved?

Our study involves listening to a selection of 3 short stories presented over the internet from the comfort of your own home. During each story, you will also be asked to respond to the appearance of a visual stimulus on the screen using your keyboard. After each story, you'll be asked a few questions about the story to see what you remember and what you liked about the stories. In total the experiment should take about 1 hour to complete.
