For Families
Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in our research! Partnerships with families like your own are essential for our research into how children think, learn, and grow.
Our activities for children range from puppet shows to short stories, with a couple simple questions for your child at the end. These activities are designed to be engaging and children usually find them really fun! This is a great opportunity for your child to witness and be a part of science first-hand, and we strive to make the experience easy and rewarding for the parents as well.
Any information we collect before or during our studies is confidential, and of course you are free to stop participating at any time. If you would like to help us learn more about how children develop, please see below!
