Research Study at Boston University ~ Dyslexia in Adults

By Kerry on Wed, May 28, 2008 12:29 pm We are studying how individuals with and without dyslexia learn new words in order to help us develop better intervention programs. In the study, you will complete several measures that will help us to understand the way you process words. Some of these will involve reading and spelling, some will involve visual analysis, and some will involve auditory analysis. We will be happy to share the results of the testing with you. You will also listen to and read two children’s stories. In those stories, you will learn some new words, and later we will check to see how many words you can remember. The study will take about 3 hours and can be completed in one visit. This includes a 30 minute screening. If you complete the study, we will provide $40.00 cash in compensation. If, after the 30 minute screening, we determine that you do not qualify for the study, we will provide you with $10.00 compensation for your time. Most individuals who come to the study do qualify. The study takes place at Boston University, in the Psychology Department. We will provide parking. Visit our website: www.geocities.com/dyslexia_study Email: khowland@bu.edu

The Middle East is a great venue when it's kind of full--but it can be a mess when it's completely sold out.

 


Surfer Blood & Turbo Fruits

By ioncrash on Mon, Mar 8, 2010 5:26 pm None-too-shockingly, Jonas Stein of Turbo Fruits (formerly of Be YourOwn Pet) turns out to be a pretty chill guy. After all, the dude’s written more songs about weed than I care to list right now.
