Call for participants! Research on social contact, hearing, and memory function.

Researchers in the Neuroscience of Speech and Action Lab at Lancaster University are looking to recruit participants for a long-term online research study: The Social Hearing Study! We are investigating how social isolation (related to Covid-19) might affect cognitive and sensory function.

To take part you must be aged 18-30. You must be a UK-based, right-handed, monolingual speaker of British English, have no history of language, neurological, or psychiatric disorders.You will be compensated with a small inconvenience allowance for taking part in the form of up to £35 shopping vouchers*. If you would like to receive more information, ask any questions or participate please please register your interest in the study here:

The study aims to understand the potential relationship between social contact, hearing ability, and cognitive function. The research is all online, so you take part from home if you have access to a laptop, or computer, and some headphones or earphones. The research will take place over the next 12 months, and you will be asked to complete some online questionnaires and short memory and hearing tasks each month, which take around 30 minutes to do.
