Do you
have an infant or young child?
|
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.

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.
