Hey guys and gals, I am completing and Honours Degree in Psychology and Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn. We are interested in the ways with which different substances may affect long term performance on a number of cognitive measures which assess memory and attention. We require people aged 18 and over to complete a short online study. You will be asked to complete a few simple tasks that assess memory and attention. We will then ask you to fill out a questionnaire asking how much caffeine you normally consume and some questions about you, as a number of other factors (for instance whether you smoke, drink or exercise) can affect your performance. You will also be asked if you have consumed any illicit drugs before and if so your levels of use. Even if you do not consume any caffeine, alcohol or drugs we would still be grateful for your participation as we require data from people that do not consume these things as well as those who do. Some of the information you provide may relate to illegal activity (illicit drug use), however, all of this information will be completely anonymous and you will not be identifiable from your responses.
Everything should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. All information submitted will be completely anonymous and will be stored in a secure manner that will not allow access by anybody other than the researchers conducting the current project and researchers from the Human Cognitive Neuroscience Unit at Northumbria University. Participation is completely voluntary and you are free to end the study at any time or to withdraw your responses before finishing the measures.
We would really appreciate your time and consideration in completing this study to further our knowledge about the different effects that caffeine, alcohol and drugs may have on memory and attention. If you would like to take part in this study, please follow this link:

Hey everyone, I am completing and Honours Degree in Psychology at Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn.
I am interested in the ways with which different substances may affect long term performance on a number of cognitive measures which assess memory and attention.
I require people aged 18 and over to attend a short session in a computer lab at Swinburne University in Hawthorn where you will be asked to complete a few simple tasks that assess memory and attention. This should take about ten minutes. We will then ask you to fill out a questionnaire asking how you normally consume for a number of different substances, along with some questions about yourself, as a number of other factors (for instance whether you smoke, drink or exercise) can affect your performance. You will also be asked if you have consumed any illicit drugs before and if so your levels of use. Finally, we will also ask you to provide a hair sample in order to assess any substance use over the prior few months. Even if you do not consume any caffeine, alcohol or drugs we would still be grateful for your participation as we require data from people that do not consume these things as well as those who do.
Some of the information you provide may relate to illegal activity (illicit drug use), however, all of this information will be completely anonymous and you will not be identifiable from your responses. The hair samples provided will be identified to your responses by only number and no personally identifiable information will be gathered. Hair samples will be destroyed once analysis of substance use is completed, and no other information will be gained from the hair samples provided.
Everything should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. All information submitted will be completely anonymous and will be stored in a secure manner that will not allow access by anybody other than the researchers conducting the project. Participation is completely voluntary and you are free to end the study at any time or to withdraw your responses before finishing the measures.
I would really appreciate your time and consideration in completing this study to further our knowledge about the different effects that caffeine, alcohol and drugs may have on memory and attention.
Sessions will be held between now and the end of September.
If you are interested in taking part in this study, please contact me at [email protected].
Please feel free to pass these details onto friends and family or anyone you think may be interested in participating in this research.
