Paid volunteers for study on effects of learning a new language.
Earn up to €150: Participants are paid €10/hour for their time, with a bonus of €20 if all 12 sessions are completed.
What are the consequences for the mind and the brain to learn a new language even for a relatively short time? We are seeking enthusiastic volunteers who want to learn Dutch for 10 days! This study will take place over the course of 12 sessions. Each session will last between 1 and 1.5 hours.
During Session 1 volunteers will complete simple tasks such as; counting items, remembering sequences, responding to patterns on a screen, and completing a short language history questionnaire. During Sessions 2-11 volunteers will come to the lab and study Dutch through computerized software. During Session 12 (final session) volunteers will repeat all the tasks that were administered on Session 1.
