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.
