Qs: Volunteers Needed for Memory Experiment

Editor for this issue: Dan Parker <danlinguistlist.org>

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.html.

I'm running a really short experiment as part of my Ph.D. research. I'm
hoping to get about 200 people to download the experiment and run it on
themselves and then e-mail me their results. It's a simple experiment (it
tests effects on your
short-term memory) and it takes about 8 minutes.

In the experiment, you'll be asked to read a list of sentences, then do
some easy addition and subtraction questions and then you'll be asked to
categorize the words that flash on the screen as old (occurred in the list
of sentences you read), or new (did not occur in the list of sentences you
read).

If you're interested, please download the program from this website:
http://www.linguistics.ubc.ca/people/mscott

This is the website for the linguistics department of UBC. There is no
tracking of visitors done, so participation is confidential.

(The software will only run on Windows computers, sorry, I couldn't create
a Mac version.)

Thanks,
Mark Scott
