Time2Learn Trial Summary

This trial seeks to discover the optimal training schedule to help adults with DLD learn and improve their memory. It will include 540 adults, half with DLD, to test different training schedules and learning strategies.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for native American English speakers aged 18-55 with normal vision and hearing. It's designed for adults both with developmental language disorder (DLD) and without any language impairments. Participants need internet access and headphones to join the online activities. Those with neurological, psychiatric, or socio-emotional disorders or on sleep-altering meds cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how different training schedules affect learning speech sounds in adults with and without DLD. It involves perceptual category training across six schedules to find out which one best supports memory retention, considering circadian preferences and overnight consolidation.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on non-medical interventions like perceptual training exercises, there are no direct side effects as you would expect from drug trials. However, participants may experience fatigue or frustration during the learning tasks.
