This is a computer-based listening study which involves giving judgments on spoken Mandarin sentences, as well as reading a few English sentences out loud while being audio-recorded. The study will take place in the PAMLab. If you are eligible to participate, you will arrange to complete one session of 40-50 minutes with an experimenter. If you complete the study, you will be compensated $25 via an electronic gift card to Amazon or Grubhub.

In general, our studies take place in Room 117 of 617 Commonwealth Avenue on Boston University’s Charles River Campus. Participation in a study typically consists of filling out a background questionnaire and completing language tasks that involve speaking into a microphone and/or listening to audio recordings over headphones.
