Need for research participants

Submitted by Charles L. Pickens

The Pickens Lab in the psychological sciences department is looking for people who are 18-35 years old and: 

  1. Regularly vape nicotine four or more times per day and would be willing to abstain from nicotine for 12 hours overnight. All research will end before 10:30 a.m.
  2. Do not currently use any nicotine products or have any history of using nicotine.

Participants will answer questions about use of nicotine and other legal drug use. They will then participate in a computer-based learning task.

This study is similar to the colored line discrimination, colored rectangle discrimination, or colored square and card suit discrimination study run in psychological sciences department, so we are looking for people who have not previously participated in those studies.

The research study can be completed in 45 minutes, and participants will receive $20 for their participation.

If interested, please contact Paige Anderson at 785-456-4686.

This study has received Institutional Review Board No. 11498.
