SPANISH SPEAKERS NEEDED FOR A LANGUAGE STUDY
Our study aims to offer new evidence into the nature of language change in the Spanish speaking community of New York City. In the first session, participants will listen to Spanish sentences while we measure the brain’s reactions using ERPs (Event Related Potentials). In the second session, participants will provide acceptability judgments about Spanish sentences. The ERP procedure involves wearing a sensor cap during the experiment and is completely non-invasive.
**Participants must meet the following selection criteria:**
|
First Generation Spanish Speakers |
OR |
Second Generation Spanish Speakers |
|
• 18 – 50 years old |
• 18 – 50 years old |
|
|
• Came to the US after age 18 |
• Born in the US or arrived before age 8 |
|
|
• Born and raised in Spanish-speaking Latin American country |
• Parents born and raised in Cuba, Dominican Republic, or Puerto Rico |
Participants who meet the selection criteria after screening will be paid $80 for completion of the study.
Total expected time commitment: 4 hours (over 2 sessions)
Testing will take place at:
The Graduate Center
City University of New York
365 Fifth Ave. (between 34th & 35th)

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research is offering grants that will be awarded on a competitive basis to fund innovative ideas for incorporating authentic research projects into the undergraduate curriculum. Successful projects will be implemented into new or existing courses and must incorporate a researchable aim. For the purposes of this competition, authentic research is defined as a plan for seeking answers to a research question for which the outcome is unknown. The research question should be based on the expertise of the PI, and should involve the development of new avenues of inquiry.
For additional information, guidelines, and contact information, see the Research in the Classroom: Idea Grant page.
The Student Research Poster Session is nearly here–it starts on Wednesday morning. Can you feel the excitement in the air? That’s excitement for research, for demonstrating how great the student research experience is via your poster, and joining the Undergraduate Research Committee at the Research Mixer! Students! Faculty! Come meet your colleagues, classmates, and City Tech’s fine mentors while learning about the research experience at City Tech.
Snacks and prizes!
Join the Undergraduate Research Committee at our semi-annual research mixer! This will be a great opportunity for students and faculty members to meet to discuss their research interests, with the goal of establishing mentor-mentee relationships for next semester.
If you are a faculty member who has mentored student researchers before, or are new to the mentoring process, we hope you can come meet the next group of student researchers!
If you’re a student interested in starting a research project, come learn more about the opportunities available at City Tech.
We hope to see you in N119 on 12/4 at the end of the first day of the Student Research Poster Session.
