Current Studies

Behavioral and Eye-tracking Research Studies

We are currently recruiting for behavioral and eye-tracking memory research studies investigating how we bind together and remember relational information, and how that ability changes across the lifespan. These studies are each 1 session, lasting 1-3.5 hours (the exact length of your participation will be confirmed when you contact us). All studies are conducted in Science IV on Binghamton Campus.

To be eligible for these studies, you must be 18-40 or 60-80 years of age, have normal or corrected-to-normal vision, have a native English reading proficiency, and must not have the following: history of neurological disease, severe traumatic brain injury, stroke, drug or substance abuse, uncontrollable shaking. You must pass a screener over the phone which assesses eligibility for this research. Studies can then be scheduled at your convenience.

Research studies are all computer-based tasks, in which you will be asked to study various materials, potentially including objects, faces, scenes, words, etc. You will then be asked to remember certain aspects of that studied information, such as spatial location, temporal order, etc. Eye-tracking studies involve a tabletop camera tracking the position and movement of your eyes during these memory tasks, while your head rests on a chinrest to keep your eye stable. You will also be asked to complete standardized assessments of cognition and demographic/health surveys.

Participants will receive $20 per hour for participating in the study. Students from the Binghamton University SONA psychology pool will receive 1 research credit per hour for participating.

Location of the Lab

The Cognition, Aging, and Memory Performance Laboratory is located on the Binghamton University campus, in Science 4 Room 121.

If you enter campus from the main entrance, use the first exit on the traffic circle to go right. Then, the parking lot for Science 4 will be the first left you come to. There is a designated space at the top of the lot (on the right, along the sidewalk) where you can park free of charge. Science 4 is the building immediately next to the parking lot (there are brains painted in the windows). We will meet you at the designated Psychology Department parking spot, located at the top of the lot.
