Birders of All Skill Levels Needed
Our laboratory at Vanderbilt University is looking for birders of all levels
of experience to participate in a project examining how perception and
memory for birds differs between beginners and experts of all levels. We
really do mean all levels of experience, from the true beginner to the
expert with decades of study and everything in-between.
These experiments are online on the web. They measure your ability to
remember and identify birds and sometimes other animals or objects. Many
experiments are fairly short. They can be done on any computer, wherever and
whenever you decide to do them.
One of our current experiments is a bird identification test. Go online and
test your birding skills.
This is the web site for our experiments:
http://expertise.psy.vanderbilt.edu <http://expertise.psy.vanderbilt.edu/>
Once you register your own login id and password on the site, you will be
able to participate in any experiments that are available. We expect to add
new experiments over time.
Some folks on this email list have participated in our pilot experiments. We
are now looking to recruit many more individuals for our studies. Some
experiments may include modest compensation.
