Participate in a research study on memory at NC State!

NC State’s Daily Well-Being in Adulthood Lab is seeking OLLI members who may want to participate in a new study examining engagement in cognitive tasks across different ability levels. Ideal candidates are individuals aged 60+ who are concerned about their memory OR individuals that have a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment. 

Participation in this study requires 2-3 hours of your time and includes two lab visits, each visit lasting approximately 90 minutes. The Daily Well-Being in Adulthood Lab is located on NC State’s Centennial campus. The lab visits will be scheduled one week apart.

Participants will be asked to:

• Complete a series of activities on an iPad while their heart rate and blood pressure are recorded
• Walk on a treadmill for up to 5 minutes
• Ride a recumbent bicycle for up to 15 minutes 

*** participants will wear a suit over their clothes that measures movement, for approximately 30 minutes 

Participants will be given $120 of Amazon credit for their time. 

This study is being coordinated by Kathryn Swaim, who facilitates OLLI’s partnership with Psychology of Aging students within the Psychology department at NC State. If you would like to participate in the study or have additional questions, please email the lab at wellbeinglab@ncsu.edu.
