Would you like to participate in language research and get paid for doing so? Many of our current research projects are recruiting participants. Each experiment pays $10 per hour of participation (varying between 1-2 hours per session).
Please contact each project individually if you would like to participate.
The following projects are currently recruiting:
This semester, we are continuing to do work on a number of projects, including the Cross Language Tone Perception (XLTP) study, the Pitch Accent Learning (PAL) study, the Audio-Visual Accent (AVA) study, and the Auditory and Articulatory Priming Effects on the Perception and Production of Speech Sounds (3PO) study.
If you would like to participate in any of these studies as a subject, visit the Participants Needed section of the LABlab site to see if you qualify. We need lots of participants, so don't be shy - email us today for more information.
