Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is being conducted to learn more about how various personal and situational characteristics are related to the ability to produce words in response to definitions. Participants will watch a video, then see definitions and try to come up with a word that fits each one. Participants will also complete some surveys and other measures. Collected data will give researchers a better understanding of how individuals' personality and cognitive traits and setting in which word retrieval occurs relate to the ability to produce individual words.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is being conducted to learn more about how various personal and situational characteristics are related to the ability to produce words in response to definitions. Adult participants ages 18-30 and 65-80 will participate in videoconference calls during which a video is shown and definitions are presented. Participants will try to come up with a word that fits each definition, and then complete some surveys, including some about anxiety, mindfulness, attention, vocabulary, and demographics. Participation will take approximately 1.25 hours. Collected data will be de-identified, and the aggregate data will give researchers a better understanding of how individuals' personality and cognitive traits and setting in which word retrieval occurs relate to peoples' ability to produce individual words.
