The Dynamic Perception and Memory Lab at Columbia University is currently looking for adults in the NYC area to receive personalized memory training from a professional memory coach from the USA Memory Championship. You will learn a memory technique that has been used by medical students, lawyers, and public speakers to rapidly memorize information that they need to recall without notes. This online pre-screening study is about 1 hour and involves completing some cognitive tasks and answering a few questions to determine your eligibility for the full study. You will be paid $12 for completing this pre-screening. If you are selected for the memory training study, it will require a commitment to a 4-week training program that consists of classes, weekly individual meetings, and daily self-practices (all conducted online via Zoom). There will also be three 2-hour fMRI scan sessions at the middle (1 session) and the end (2 sessions) of training at the Zuckerman Institute (3227 Broadway, New York, NY 10027). You would be paid $235 upon completion of the entire training program. If you would like to participate, please sign up here, and we will send you the link to the online pre-screening. Please complete the online pre-screening study only if you're interested in participating in the four-week memory training study.
