We are recruiting undergraduate Psychology or Biology students to participate in a study on attention during recorded lectures. The goal of this research study is to explore how students pay attention to pre-recorded science 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 1-1.5 hours to complete.
Part 2 (one week after part 1) will take up to 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, fluent in English, 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.
This study was approved by the IRB, protocol #H21-0165, and is conducted under the supervision of Dr. Ido Davidesco, University of Connecticut.
