you’re looking for something new and fun to do with your child, we would love
to have you participate in one of our studies! Help us discover how children
learn about language and the world around them. Typical studies involve a one
time, half hour visit. You stay with your child the entire time and receive a
small gift for participating as well! Please contact us or visit our website

Social Development Lab
Our lab is currently looking for children to help with our research! Our lab
looks at personality and the social world for young children. Our study
involves parents and their children coming into our lab and answering a few
questions. Kids get to play some fun computer games as well! The typical
sessions take around 2 hours and parents are always able to observe their child
during the social interaction tasks. In appreciation of your time, children get
a small gift. To learn more about our lab and what we do, check out our
website! Follow us on Facebook and twitter to keep up to date with our fun!
