This study is looking at how adults, both with and without Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), learn and remember new information. DLD affects about 7% of people and can make learning and memory challenging. Researchers want to find the best way to help adults with DLD remember what they learn, especially overnight. You would participate in "Perceptual category training," which involves a computer task where you learn difficult sounds and images. The study aims to enroll 540 adults aged 18-55 who are native American English speakers with typical vision and hearing. Success will be measured by how well you can tell apart different speech sounds after one week and how well you can identify categories after 48 hours. The current recruitment status is unclear.
