Investigating how we Categorise our Possessions
28 April 2017
We would like to invite you to consider participating in a research study that aims to develop our understanding of categorisation in people who hoard.
Some people have profound difficulty in letting go of valued possessions. This difficulty can lead to rooms becoming disorganised over time so that the space is no longer useable nor recognisable. This can be referred to as a hoarding problem.
Please note that the second part of this study will involve a testing session at Bath University
