Does a novel training programme improve working memory? (aged 16 – 25)

In this study we are interested in examining whether repeated practice at a computerised working memory task over a 20 day period improves cognitive control capabilities (as measured by other unpractised tasks) in young people aged 16 – 25 years. We hope that the study findings will inform treatments for working memory difficulties associated with low mood and brain injury. More information about this study can be found in the documents below.

If you are interested in taking part in this study then please tick the relevant statement and fill in your details below. This will enable your contact details to be shared with the researchers, Dr Anna Adlam and Dr Het Roberts. No information will be shared with third parties. You will only be contacted about Anna and Het’s study, which has full ethical approval from University of Exeter Psychology Ethics Committee. Thank you for your interest in this study.

Moral development and social information processing: relationships with empathy, working memory and perspective taking

We know that as children get older they develop different skills such as memory and decision making. We want to know how these skills are linked to each other, and how they are related to behaviour. For this study we are recruiting typically developing children and adolescents, aged 11-18. The study will involve filling in paper questionnaires and completing some computer tasks in a one off 2 hour study session. All participants will be entered into a prize draw, with a chance of winning one of 20 £20 vouchers (iTunes, Amazon or Tesco's). More information about the study can be found in the information sheets below.

If you are interested in taking part in this study then please tick the relevant statement and fill in your details below. This will enable your contact details to be shared with the researcher, Beverley Garrigan. No information will be shared with third parties. You will only be contacted about Beverley's study, which has full ethical approval from the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences Ethics Committee, at the University of East Anglia. Thank you for your interest in this study.
