The Portal for Psychological Experiments on Language
Psychological Research
Welcome to the Language Experiments page. This page serves as a portal
for psychological experiments on aspects of language understanding; if
you have the time to spare we would be extremely grateful if you could
participate in one of these experiments. The work carried out at this
site is genuine psychological research, so we very much
appreciate your help. There are even prizes to be won for
participating in some of the studies! If you want to know more about
our work, please have a look at the List
of Publications that report research results optained using this
page.
Languages
Because of the nature of psycholinguistic work, it's important to find
native speakers of each of the languages of the experiments.
If you're not a native speaker of one of the languages offered,
please accept our apologies and come back again soon, when there may
be other experiments running. Please also have a look at our page with
links to Other Web Experiments.
Prizes
By participating in one of the experiments marked with the cash icon
you will automatically be entered into a PRIZE DRAW. This means you can win
attractive PRIZES
for your participation (typically cash or gift vouchers). Please
follow the link to the experiments to find out details. You might also

previous experiments.
Technical Note
The software that runs these experiments is still in development and
we hope you will understand if, very occasionally, things go wrong.
If you encounter problems, please let us know what happened, so
we can improve the software, or consult our Technical Problems page for more information.
One particular problem are firewalls, which can sometimes
affect experiments in unpredictable ways. Experiments marked with the
firewall icon are unlikely to run through a firewall.
