Study Description

The purpose of this study is to look into speech processing in Spanish-English bilingual speakers to expand on what we know about bilingualism and general cognition.


During the study you will be involved in a game-like description task, taking turn between listening to someone’s descriptions on image objects and describing and responding to some of the other image objects that you see on a computer screen. Your responses and descriptions of the objects will be recorded. In addition to the description task, you will be asked to complete a language history questionnaire and two language proficiency tasks.
