Interested in helping us find ways to improve thinking and memory skills?​

We are conducting an exciting research project, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, looking at ways to support everyday memory performance as we age. The project is led by Professor Louise Nicholls in collaboration with the University of Leeds and the University of Sheffield. The team is now looking for young (18-35) and older (65-85) adult participants!

Participation involves completing a brief survey, then attending the Strathclyde campus in central Glasgow on one occasion. At the session you would be asked to complete some tasks looking at your memory and thinking skills, taking up to 90 minutes, including breaks. 

Participants receive a £10 high street shopping voucher.
