Volunteers Required!

My lady wife is currently studying for a Masters in psychology and is looking for volunteers to sit a short memory test. She writes as follows:

"I would be very grateful of 10 minutes of your time to participate in my research project for my psychology course at the University of Derby. This experiment is concerned with word recall in two comparative tests. To participate you need to be over 18 years of age and not suffer from a learning disability, as we do not want to put anyone in a stressful situation while participating in this research.

All participants will remain anonymous with their own unique identifier and will use a gmail account to submit their tests. Participants can also receive a summary of the findings if they wish. After submitting the word tests applicants have the right to withdraw within 10 days

Memory is a fascinating subject and this survey will be looking at the recall of words from the short-term memory and will compare two short word tests of twenty words.
"

She is particularly keen to have some responses from retired people (and for some reason thinks that VBD will be a rich hunting ground!).
If you are willing to take part, please drop me a PM with your e-mail address and an indication whether you are a student, in full-time employment, or retired and I will pass your details on.

Thank you!

All joking aside, this is a serious request and any offers to participate will be gratefully received.
