Looking for something different to do with your child aged 10-12 years after school or over the weekend?
Why not visit The University of Adelaide and contribute to SCIENCE as a research participant?
You could make a day of it and visit our neighbours, e.g. the SA Museum, State Library, or Art Gallery of SA.
We are running a psychology study:
Logic Kids vs. Logic Adults - Characterising the cognitive processes that drive reasoning development
We are looking for children aged 10-12 years to participate. A parent is very welcome to participate too at the same time (but not compulsory)! The study aims to investigate how people reason - that is, how they draw conclusions from information.
This study will be held at Adelaide Develop Well Lab at the University of Adelaide (Hughes Building, North Terrace, Adelaide).
Participants will complete a computer-based reasoning task (approx. 30 minutes; bookings are 45 minutes). Participants will be asked to consider some reasoning problems in which they need to use the information provided to make judgments about different conclusions. A fun logic training module is included in the study.
Each participant will receive a $20 electronic gift card (e.g., if a parent and child both participate, the total received is $40). Child participants will also receive a Certificate of Attendance and a small gift.
Eligibility requirements: Your child and you are eligible to participate in this study if you both:
- are aged 10 - 12 years (child) or over 18 years (parent)
- speak English fluently
- with no known intellectual disabilities
- have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
