<DIV><FONT size=2>Subjects Needed: Late Bilingualism and Aging Study<BR><BR><BR>For a four-year research project on the language reversion among<BR>elderly Dutch migrants (a line of research very much started by Michael<BR>Clyne and Kees de Bot) we are currently looking for native English-<BR>speaking subjects to serve as a control group. Apart from investigating<BR>first language reversion, this project also aims to examine whether late<BR>bilinguals can attenuate some of the general cognitive decline that<BR>often accompanies advanced age (a continuation of Ellen Bialystok's<BR>work, but this time focusing on late rather than early bilinguals). We are<BR>happy to accept anyone between 35 and 100 years old, but are<BR>especially recruiting elderly subjects (older than 60 and 75 years).<BR><BR>Should you know anyone (either professonally or personally) who<BR>might be interested in this project, please contact the principal<BR>investigator (Merel Keijzer) at M.C.J. Keijzeruu.nl. Testing ideally<BR>takes place at Monash University Clayton Campus, but can also be<BR>done on location if that is more convenient. Each session lasts about<BR>1.5 hours max and subjects are given 20 dollars for their time and<BR>effort. A more elaborate description of the project can be found on the<BR>following website: <A href="http://www.uu.nl/hum/staff/MKeijzer">http://www.uu.nl/hum/staff/MKeijzer</A><BR><BR><A href="http://linguistlist.org/issues/23/23-164.html">http://linguistlist.org/issues/23/23-164.html</A><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
