This study consists of several parts. The 1st part is a warm-up. And then you will complete 6 short rounds of readings and comprehension questions.
During the reading sections, please read as quickly as you can, without reading out-loud or re-reading. However, be prepared to answer comprehension questions about the reading.
If you want to take breaks, we ask that you do so during the instruction screens, not during the reading rounds.
For questions, please contact Ben D. Sawyer at labx@ucf.edu.
