Psychologists at the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) study many topics. To do this we need the help of people who agree to take part in a research study. You are being invited to take part in a very large research study, which will include about 1000 – 2000 individuals in total. You must be 18 years of age or older to be included in the research study. You also must have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and no color blindness. You should have had an appropriate amount of sleep (i.e., no deprivation) and should refrain from taking caffeine or other stimulants while participating in this study.
What you will be asked to do in the study: During this study, you will be asked to complete a series of surveys. Once you have finished the surveys, you will be asked to complete a semantic processing task and then complete another series of surveys. We expect that you will be in this research study for approximately 30 minutes.
