Psychology Participant Database (PSYCpool)
We conduct studies investigating various aspects of information processing, memory, learning and behaviour. You may have participated in one of these in the past. These studies typically involve computer tasks (remote video conference style studies) or online surveys (on the web) that take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, and some multi session studies. You may find the studies quite interesting and insightful.
In appreciation of your time volunteering to participant in these studies, you will receive remuneration valued at approximately $5.00 per half hour in the form of gift certificates or draws for prizes. All studies have been reviewed by and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Board (ORE#30355), however the final decision about participation is yours.
If you think, you might like to participate in some studies this term you may sign-up for our participant database by taking 10-15 minutes to provide some contact and demographic information at:
