The Dynamic Cognition Lab at Washington University in St. Louis is recruiting participants for memory studies involving short videos of everyday events. Participation consists of two online 30-minute sessions. Your participation will contribute to our understanding of how memory works, how it changes with age, and how we can improve it.

Participants will be gifted a $7 Amazon gift card for completing the first session and a $13 Amazon gift card for completing the second session.

To participate, please contact the Dynamic Cognition Lab:
