need to have native speaker data as the norm, so I am in great need of native speakers willing to take part in my test.

format, and two online tests which are run through a piece of software named DMDX which is designed
by </span><span style="background-color:transparent;">Kenneth I. Forster and Jonathan C. Forster </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 10pt;">at the University of Arizona. It is used in psycholinguistics studies and mostly performed to record reaction times. The volunteers need to have a PC or a laptop computer equipped with windows as it won't work on Mac computers. All they have to do is download the files I share with them through my Dropbox, be connected to the Internet and do the test according to the instructions provided in the test. It will test how fast a participant reads a group of sentences and reacts on their grammaticality. The test (all three parts) will take around an hour. </span></div><div id="yiv8384726489yui_3_13_0_rc_1_7_1382541072886_10" style="background-color:transparent;"><br id="yiv8384726489yui_3_13_0_rc_1_7_1382541072886_55"></div><div id="yiv8384726489yui_3_13_0_rc_1_7_1382541072886_10"
