Adults of all ages are being invited to become volunteer participants in research conducted by faculty and students connected with the Aging and Development Program of the Department of Psychology in Arts & Sciences.
Some of the studies deal with practical problems, others with basic abilities such as thinking, memory and perception. Current projects range from a study of the influence of personality on people’s judgment of their problem-solving ability, to a project examining people’s ability to detect changes in the visual world.
Some studies are conducted by mail or telephone; others are done in a laboratory at the University.
To be a part of the volunteer pool, call Lily Beck at 935-6546 and leave your name, telephone number and date of birth. At the start of a new project, volunteers will be contacted to see if they are interested in participating.
Volunteers often are paid a small honorarium in recognition of their contribution.
