UNLV Baby/Child Study

UNLV's Psychology Department is conducting a study and need baby scientists and children to participate. The lab investigates how children perceive music and speech sounds by creating short, fun studies for infants and children.

Infants will sit on the caregiver's lap (you) and listen to a song or watch someone dancing. What your baby chooses to look at tells them a lot about what he's thinking. The study only lasts about ten minutes.

Children will sit next to their caregiver and play a computer game with a research assistant. There are no wrong answers and the study only takes 15-20 minutes.

For those of you who went to undergrad and graduate school know how difficult it is to find research participants. I was a Psychology major who conducted several studies and always found it difficult to find participants. So, if you're interested in helping them out (and seeing your baby scientist at work), their contact information is below. They would love to hear from you.

Valentine's Party at Church (POTLUCK) MORE INFORMATION!!!

Friday, February 13th Valentine's Playgroup Party & Potluck Lunch

Several of us are thinking it would be fun to do a potluck lunch in conjunction with the Valentine's Party on Friday. So, if you'd like to bring something, just leave a comment on this post and let us know what you'll be bringing.

See you then!

Update:
To answer your questions, the craft we'll be making will be a little envelope to carry the Valentines in. If you want to bring anything fun to decorate the envelopes with, please do so. We can always use glue sticks, markers, and any fun things you want to decorate with. We would love it for you to bring anything fun like that to share. Also, since we are doing a potluck, please let us know what you want to bring for the lunch. I'm not sure how many Valentines you'll need to bring but I would bring at least 20. I hope that answers all the questions.

Playgroup this Week

Wednesday, February 11th at 11 am: Story time at Town Square. The Controller from Thomas & Friends is coming to guest read. If your kids are anything like mine, they love everything Thomas. I figure it's worth changing around the Valentine's Party so we can go to this!


Friday, February 13th at 10 am: Valentine's Day Party at the church. Bring your valentines to share with friends. We'll decorate cupcakes and cookies and make a Valentine craft. See you there!

***Also, we are scheduled to do a tour of the Great Harvest Bakery off of the 215 and Tropicana next week. If you are attending, you must RSVP. They do gift sacks for all the kids and I have to give them a number. Come join us; it's so much fun. They even let the kids bake their own slice of bread. Please RSVP to anjiebringhurst@yahoo.com or via a comment on this post by February 17th.
