Which lab would you rather volunteer for?

<h1>1: The Developmental Science Lab is currently investigating the relationship of technology and human behavior across age, including text messaging and classroom behavior, and patterns of use of cell phones and social networks (such as my space and facebook). We are also examining religiosity and behaviors of college students. If you are interested in volunteering in the lab please contact</h1>

<h1>2: The Developmental Science Laboratory is currently researching:</h1>

<ol>
<li>Projective aging (how young and older adults perceive what their life will be like in old age); 2. Reverse ageism and older adult perceptions of the younger generation; 3. The use of coping strategies across the life-span (e.g., social comparisons, human agency , social support, and perceived control); 4. Health-related use of the Internet by older adults and chronically ill younger adults; 5. Using cutting edge game technology (e.g., Nintendo’s Wii and SIMs II Deluxe) to foster intergenerational social interaction among old and young adults</li>
</ol>

<h1>3: Dr. — learning and memory lab is mainly concerned with examining prospective memory (memory to perform an action, on one’s own, in the future). Dr. — also has a research interest in metamemory (“do you know what you know?”), and the effects of different study methods on test performance. If you are interested volunteering in this lab, please contact</h1>

<p>And do you have any idea what I would wind up doing?</p>

<p>I would rate them: 1, 3, 2. I’ve never been at all interested in the effects of aging (sure I will be once I get older!). 1 and 3 are sort of tied for me, but I chose 1 because I’m already about to work in a lab involving memory. 1 would be a new experience for me.</p>

<p>Can’t say much about what you’d be doing (depends on so much – they’re research, how much they trust students, the professors/researchers…). Try emailing and asking about what the daily life would be like for you. Maybe you’ll get some answers that way.</p>

<p>None of them would really interest me. I guess I would rank them the same way Atomic did.</p>
