Be part of the city tour! We are looking for children (ages 4-10) and adults (ages 18-35) to take part in a fun virtual online memory study. The study helps scientists understand how children and adults learn and remember new information. In this study, you will join a live video session with a researcher and then: -Watch short animations of magical cities on a computer -Answer simple questions about what they saw during the tour to cellect coins and clues to rescue a lost animal! Study information: -Meet with a researcher virtually online to play memory games -Three separate sessions, spaced 2-3 days apart -Each session lasts about 45 minutes -Compensated with $35 Amazon gift card after study completion Please fill out the survey using this link to see if you are eligible. www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/research/research-groups/raven/participation/city-tour
