About the Experiments

Experiments in this laboratory investigate language representation and processing. In a typical experiment, you will be asked to listen to sentences or to read words and sentences presented to you on a computer. You will be asked to make decisions about the materials by pressing buttons on a keypad. Only reaction time to make those decisions will be recorded. We are not going to investigate your intelligence, your social language ability, or any factors as that. The experiment will take place in the Psycholinguistics and Cognition Lab (see above). It will take about 1 hour to complete a set of short experiments. You will receive payment ($6.00 to $10.00, depending on the set of experiments) for your time. However, you will not be paid if participating in experiments is part of your Cognition 1 course requirements at Concordia. Instead, you will receive the appropriate credit for your participation. Full instructions and a debriefing sheet will be given to you in the lab.

Please, take note of the date and time you choose. And please do not forget to take note of the lab address and phone number. In case you cannot come at your scheduled time, please call the lab at least two hours in advance to reschedule or cancel.

The Experiments are for Native English Speakers Only

You can participate in this experiment only if (a) English was the first language you learned (Canada or USA) or (b) you learned English (in Canada or USA) at the same time you learned another language and English is your main language now. If you do not meet either one of these criteria, you are not a native speaker of English for the purposes of this experiment.
