Hello!
Thank you for visiting our site. If you are curious about the research that we are conducting, please click here for a link to our current research projects.
We have posted a list of answers to the most frequently asked questions we get from parents, but please feel free to contact us directly if you have questions.
FAQs:
I am concerned that my child is not developing normally. Can you help me?
We do not evaluate or diagnose children in the Childhood Cognition Lab. We conduct basic research studies on cognitive development. If you are concerned about your child, we encourage you to contact your doctor directly. The following links may also be helpful:
I am considering allowing my child to participate in a study. What is generally involved?
Our interviews with children are generally structured as a short game that lasts no more than 20 to 30 minutes. Children tend to enjoy the games and the one-on-one attention with our interviewers. If we sent home a permission form with your child from school, we are probably planning to arrange a time with the teacher to conduct the interviews at school. If you are interested in having your child participate, please sign the permission form and return it to your child’s teacher. If you would prefer for us to interview your child in our research lab, please contact us to make an appointment. Participants in the Baby Einstein experiment will come to the lab.
What are the benefits of our participating?
Our goal at the Childhood Cognition Lab is to contribute to scientific knowledge about child development, specifically the development of fantastical and religious thinking as well as the effects of media upon young children. While your child’s specific information is kept completely confidential, your child's responses to the interview questions eventually will be presented to the scientific community through posters, lectures, and scientific articles.
My child and I have already participated in a study, and we want to know how it turned out.
If you and your child have already participated in a study, thank you! When the studies are complete, we post summaries here. Check the list below to see if we have posted the summary from the study you helped us with:
