Information for Parents
Participating in our research is a fun, safe, and meaningful way to support our understanding of how children think, learn, and develop in a digital world.
Are you a parent of a child ages 2-5 years old?
Our lab offers research studies that children can participate in at our lab on campus or from home over Zoom. These sessions explore a variety of learning and developmental topics. They are designed to be fun and feel like play.
Sign Up
Fill out our short screening form (to find your child the right study) and pick a time that works for you.
We Confirm
A lab coordinator will confirm your session and send everything you need (e.g., directions to the lab and parking info, Zoom link and setup tips)..
Participate
During our sessions, children watch short videos, listen to stories, look at pictures, or play through toy scenarios while answering simple questions that help us understand how they think and learn. Families receive compensation for their time.
