2. Looking for Something to Do? Make $8! (Speech Perception Experiment)

Where: LeFrak 0110
Event Type(s): Other

Are you between 18 and 45 years old? Are you a native speaker of English? Do you have normal hearing? If your answer to all three of those questions was "yes", you may be eligible to participate in a pair of speech perception studies being run out of the Hearing and Speech and Linguistics departments.

One of these studies is a study of the development of speech categories. If you participate, you will be listening to speech sounds and learning to associate them with colored squares. Another is a simple speech perception study. If you participate, you will be listening to sentences of English and writing down what you hear. You will be compensated $8 for your participation, which will last at most 60 minutes for both studies combined.

We have plenty of convenient time slots over the next couple of weeks.
