The Early Childhood Cognition Research Group @ Arizona State University consists of developmental psychology labs that share an interest in how infants and children learn, communicate, and understand their environment.
We study this by having children engage in fun activities—sometimes, this might include watching fun videos or playing games with an experimenter; other times, it can include playing with different kinds of toys. Participation in these studies allow us and other researchers to expand our understanding of how children learn, grow, and thrive. You can participate in our studies by visiting our lab on ASU Tempe’s campus, online (over Zoom), or at our “living lab” at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix.
Participate Online From Anywhere!
Some of our studies are currently being conducted online. Most studies involve scheduling a time to meet with an experimenter on Zoom (a free video-conferencing software), while others allow you to complete a study independently at any time that works well for you. Our online studies might involve your child watching videos, playing games, and talking with the researcher -- some studies might even involve your participation! Participation is a fun way for you and your family to not only get involved in science, but to also learn more about child development. If you have a child under the age of 8 and would like to participate in one of our studies, click the “sign up” button to schedule a study, or join our participant database to be contacted about future opportunities!
