If so, you can help us with our research. We recruit babies between 4 and 26 months of age to take part in our studies. We would also be pleased to hear from you if you are expecting a baby.

Ever wanted to know how your baby learns? Or whether they see the world the same way that you do? That is what we study at the Infant Cognition Lab. We are interested in what infants learn and understand about the animals, objects, and people around them.

Description:
We are a developmental research team directed by Dr. David Rakison, a Carnegie Mellon professor. The questions above are the types of issues we are interested in at the Infant Cognition Lab.

Lab Visits:
For every study, you will be with your child ALL the time. The studies are very simple but fun. For example, your child will watch a computer display or play with some toys for a few minutes while we observe his behavior. A typical visit to the lab usually lasts 30 minutes or so, and is fun for you and for your baby.

Location:
We are situated on the CMU campus in the Margaret Morrison Building. If you agree to take part, you will be sent directions to the lab, and one of our lab co-ordinators will provide you with directions over the phone. Click here if you would like to see directions on-line.
