An Eye Tracking Study on Fluency and Context in Recognition Memory
Description
We are seeking healthy volunteers to participate in a study investigating recognition memory. During the task, you will view pictures and words presented on a computer screen and make responses via a keyboard, and your eye movements will be recorded using an eye-tracker. As part of this study, you will be asked to study a set of stimuli and decide if you can recognise them during the memory task. The whole session will last no more than 1 hour. You will receive monetary compensation for your participation.
Participation eligibility:
Age 18-35 years.
Native British English Speaker (born and raised in the UK)
Normal vision or corrected-to-normal (glasses cannot be worn; contact lenses are fine)
