So,
you're taking Introductory Psychology. How do you like
it so far? It's a great course that gives you a taste
of the many different subfields within psychology. Even
better - you also have the opportunity to get involved
in research being done at your college...
As
outlined in your course description, you have the option
to earn credit for research participation. This means
you can sign up and participate in a variety of experiments
that can be found on the PSY100 web site. For the most
part, these experiments are conducted by graduate students
and by undergraduates doing independent projects, senior
lab courses, or their honors thesis. At the Human Neuropsychology
and Cognitive Science Lab, there are a number of people
conducting studies in which you are needed!

It
doesn't matter what year you are in, how old you are,
if you have ever taken a psychology course before, or
if you have never participated in an experiment - you
can still participate!
Our lab offers University of Toronto Students from all
disciplines $10 per hour to participate in experiments.
If a study lasts only half an hour, you get $5. If a
study lasts 2 hours, that's $20.
If
you are interested in supporting research at the University
of Toronto we salute you. Because of your enthusiasm
to participate in our studies, we are able to investigate
current, controversial, and fascinating issues in neuropsychology,
and hopefully make important contributions to the study
of the neuropsychology functions.
If you are a psychology student who is interested in
learning more about how research is done, what kinds
of courses to take, what it's like being a graduate
student, then signing up for a study in the lab is one
way to learn more. Participate in experiments, follow
up with the researchers on their findings, and make
your own suggestions for further research studies. Your
input counts!

| Adults
in the Community |
| |
| In
addition to encouraging students at the University of
Toronto to participate in our research, we also ask adults
of all ages to volunteer in our studies.
Several experiments being conducted in our lab require
the participation of adults of all ages. For this reason,
we often need to compare younger university students
and older adults on a variety of memory tasks.
Dr.
Moscovitch, the Director of the Human Neuropsychology
and Cognitive Science Lab, investigates the natural
changes in memory that occur with age. He has extensive
clinical and research experience with older adults of
normal health and patients (ie. Alzheimer's Disease
patients, brain-injured patients). Students under his
supervision are trained to follow his example. These
are the students whose research you will participate
in when you visit the lab.
It is important that our volunteers feel welcome and
comfortable in our lab. When you arrive for the first
time we will ask you to fill out a brief background
questionnaire (e.g., age, general health concerns, etc.)
and provide your day-time phone number, availability,
and so on. Your name and information will be added to
our growing database of adult volunteers and will be
kept strictly confidential. As new experiments
arise we will call you, describe the study, and arrange
a convenient meeting time. Although your participation
is voluntary, we offer $10 per hour as reimbursement
for gas and travel time.
Once a year, we send our adult volunteers the Memory
Lab newsletter, Recollections, which describes
the research done that year, achievements of our staff
and students, upcoming events and future directions.
We like you to stay informed and participate regularly.
