Are you interested in how memory changes with age?

Are you (or someone you know) 60 to 80 years old?

We are always looking for volunteers for memory studies!

• Lab welcomes adults 60 – 80 years old that are aging normally (should not have had a stroke or been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s).
• Studies last approximately 1 hour.
• Participants receive compensation of 10/hour.
• Studies will take place at Wofford College in the Milliken Science Center in the Psychology department.
• Pen and paper tests and computer programs are used to examine memory.
• No knowledge of computers is necessary, but we will show you how to use one for each study.
• A typical computer task requires searching for a repeated number or location.
• Studies are fun, but challenging.
• Studies are not diagnostic tests for memory problems.  We examine normal changes associated with the normal aging process.
• At the end of the meeting, we can discuss any questions you have about the study or about memory in general.
• You can participate in one or many studies.
• The research is conducted throughout the year.
• If you are interested, please contact us with your name and number, and we will call you to schedule a meeting at a time that is convenient for you.
• Your participation is greatly appreciated. Studies provide valuable information to the understanding of memory and aging!
• We are happy to provide copies of articles published about our studies.
