Questions
Where is the lab located?
The Karen Landahl Center for Linguistics Research
Social Science Research Building, Basement
1126 E 59th St, Chicago, IL 60637
Enter the Social Science Research Building via the north entrance (the entrance facing the social science quad). Turn left, towards the elevator, and head down the stairs. Go past the mail office and through the double doors, which should be near a sign for “Karen Landahl Center for Linguistics Research”. Continue straight down the hall until you reach a room that says “Welcome to the Landahl Center”. Have a seat, and we will be right with you!
How can I sign up to participate in a study?

Sending us an email
Let us know you want to be added to our lab mailing list. We’ll email you when a new experiment becomes available! Your information will only be retained by our lab. You can expect roughly 1-2 emails per year.
Do I need to bring anything / complete anything before the experiment?
You will not need to bring anything for the experiment. But, the lab does tend to be a little chilly, so you may wish to bring a light sweater.
How will I be paid?
You can choose to participate for either course credit or for payment in cash. Your experimenter will ask for your payment preference when you arrive.
For course credit: Your credits will automatically be granted within 2-3 days of participation.
