| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This year, because of COVID-19, traveling to Nova Scotia for PLL4 became impossible.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This year we are conducting another related experiment on deliberate learning. This builds on findings from last year's experiment.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
Since we were not able to travel, dramatic plan changes were required. Instead of using funds for traveling, this project is now mostly using funds to pay experiment participants.
