At the Mind and Development Lab, we study how young children think and reason about the world around them. The exact details of our studies vary, but all of them are designed to be like fun, simple games. Your child might play with some objects and toys, or draw some pictures, while interacting with a friendly researcher. Children are always encouraged and praised for their help with our projects, and at the end of our study, we give them a prize as thanks for their participation.
When are appointments scheduled? We schedule appointments at your convenience. Most appointments
are sometime Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. How many times will I be asked to bring my child to participate? Most studies in our laboratory involve a one-time 30-minute
visit. If we do have a project that involves two sessions, we
will let you know. And if you are interested in participating
in other studies in the future, you may be contacted again. Can I bring along other children? Sure! There are several other laboratories in the psychology
department doing projects with children, so it may be possible
for all of your children to participate in studies! We also
can arrange to have a trained research assistant on hand to
look after your child during your visit. If possible, let us
know in advance if you will be bringing other children, and
we will be happy to make appropriate arrangements. Can
I get individualized feedback about my child's performance in
