Word Guessing Study

The purpose of this study is to develop a measure of cross-language similarity in how words sound. During this study, you will hear and/or see words in one or more languages, and will answer questions about these words. No prior knowledge of languages other than English is needed to participate in this study.

 

All participants must be at least 18 years of age, be native English speakers, and have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and hearing.

 

The study will primarily take place at University of Maryland Patapsco Building (5201 Paint Branch Parkway, College Park, Maryland), but may also take place at University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language building (7005 52^nd Avenue, College Park, Maryland), or LeFrak Hall (7251 Preinkert Drive, College Park, Maryland).
