What does a study involve?
We have several studies in the lab. All of our studies involve playing simple games that both children and parents enjoy. Your child may play a sorting game with an experimenter or may be asked about how objects fit through openings. Some of our studies involve caregivers too. You may be asked to teach your child about different objects.
How long does a study last?
Studies last from 30 to 90 minutes.
Where do the studies take place?
The studies take place at Ramapo College of New Jersey’s Cognitive Development Lab.
