Paid research opportunity for children

The Stuttering and Linguistic Processing lab (SLPlab) at the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders is seeking children ages 5-12 years old to participate in a paid research study. 

The purpose of this research project is to investigate the organization of the mental lexicon in children who do and do not stutter by testing their ability to listen to and recall lists of words related by their sounds or meaning. With this study, we hope to further our knowledge and understanding about lexical-semantic organization in children. 

Children who do and do not stutter without any diagnoses apart from stuttering (e.g., speech/language delay or disorder, learning disability, autism, ADD/ADHD etc.) are eligible for participation.  The study is being conducted at the Stuttering and Linguistic Processing lab (CMB 2.106) at the University of Texas at Austin. The study will be completed across 1 session lasting approximately 2-2.5 hours and compensation will be provided.
