LINGUIST List 23.164 Tue Jan 10 2012 Qs: Subjects Needed: Late Bilingualism and Aging Study Editor for this issue: Zac Smith <zaclinguistlist.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.cfm. Directory         1.     Merel Keijzer , Subjects Needed: Late Bilingualism and Aging Study Message 1: Subjects Needed: Late Bilingualism and Aging Study Date: 05-Jan-2012 From: Merel Keijzer <M.C.J.Keijzeruu.nl> Subject: Subjects Needed: Late Bilingualism and Aging Study E-mail this message to a friend For a four-year research project on the language reversion among elderly Dutch migrants (a line of research very much started by Michael Clyne and Kees de Bot) we are currently looking for native English- speaking subjects to serve as a control group. Apart from investigating first language reversion, this project also aims to examine whether late bilinguals can attenuate some of the general cognitive decline that often accompanies advanced age (a continuation of Ellen Bialystok's work, but this time focusing on late rather than early bilinguals). We are happy to accept anyone between 35 and 100 years old, but are especially recruiting elderly subjects (older than 60 and 75 years). Should you know anyone (either professonally or personally) who might be interested in this project, please contact the principal investigator (Merel Keijzer) at M.C.J. Keijzeruu.nl. Testing ideally takes place at Monash University Clayton Campus, but can also be done on location if that is more convenient. Each session lasts about 1.5 hours max and subjects are given 20 dollars for their time and effort.
