Volunteers wanted!
Eye-tracking dialogue experiment
In this experiment, you will take part in a turn-taking picture-matching task with another participant (You describe a picture on a monitor to another person and the other person has to decide whether it matches his/her picture or not). We will investigate both participants' eye-movements during this task. The whole experiment takes approx. 1 hour and you will receive £6 cash reward.
The following restrictions apply:
* You need to be a native speaker of British English.
* You need to be a student at a university.
* Unfortunately, you cannot participate if you are dyslexic.
Please contact me via email.
