  • 4/12 Enrolling Participants: Bio and Psych Undergrads

    We are recruiting undergraduate Psychology or Biology students to participate in an in-person study on how undergraduate students learn from pre-recorded lectures.

     

    In this study, you will be asked to watch recorded lectures and answer questions about the presented content.

     

    While watching the lecture your eye movements will be recorded using a camera and your brain activity will be recorded by placing electrodes over your head. You will also be asked to complete several surveys before and after watching the lectures.

     

    This is a two-part study, conducted at the Arjona Building:

    Part 1 will take 1.5 - 2 hours to complete.

    Part 2 (one week after part 1) will take 15 - 30 minutes to complete.

     

    You will receive $15/hour upon completion of both parts.

     

    Eligibility: Any biology or psychology undergraduate student who is right-handed, a native English speaker, aged 18 to 30, does not have a diagnosis of ADHD or Dyslexia, is not taking medication/s for neurological or psychiatric disorders, and has normal or corrected-to-normal vision and hearing is eligible to participate.

     

    Participants will be requested to come with freshly washed hair without any product in it (if at all possible) and without eye makeup as these can interfere with accuracy of the EEG and eye tracker measurements.

    This study was approved by the IRB, protocol #H21-0165, and is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Ido Davidesco, University of Connecticut.
