Description
The Cognition and Cortical Dynamics Laboratory (CCDL) consists of a group of researchers interested in better understanding how the brain changes, or adapts, to deal with the ever-present fluctuations in information processing demands. We are currently looking for undergraduates to work in our lab a minimum of 6 hours a week for 499 credit, with a preference for a 2-quarter commitment.We are looking for people to collect primarily behavioral data, both in-person and online. The current study for which we are recruiting 499 students examines how things like “natural talent” or measures of biological predispositions interact with social/cognitive factors like motivation, self-knowledge, and self-efficacy (your belief in your ability to accomplish something in the future).
