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.
