Summary

This study is being conducted to learn more about how various personal and situational characteristics are related to the ability to produce words in response to definitions. Participants will watch a video, then see definitions and try to come up with a word that fits each one. Participants will also complete some surveys and other measures. Collected data will give researchers a better understanding of how individuals' personality and cognitive traits and setting in which word retrieval occurs relate to the ability to produce individual words.
