Hello and welcome to the UMass Boston Baby Lab! Here at the UMass Boston Baby Lab we are interested in learning about the thoughts babies have and how they learn about the world around them. More specifically, we study language learning, short-term memory, and visual and auditory development. The studies in our lab simply require babies to sit on their parents' lap while they either watch a short series of videos on a computer monitor while we track their gaze, or sit on a comfortable chair and watch a short series of pictures on a tablet and play a fun memory game.Visits typically last about 30-40 minutes. We offer $20, free parking, and a small thank-you gift. On-campus studies: We are currently recruiting infants and toddlers between the ages of 5-42 months. If you would like to participate, you can sign up online at http://babylab.youcanbook.me/ Online studies: We are currently recruiting toddlers between the ages of 24-36 months. Toddlers will play a fun memory game through a free video chat software called Zoom. The study should take about 15-20 minutes and we offer $10 amazon gift card. To schedule an appointment please contact: Tashauna.blankenship@umb.edu You may also call us at 617-287-6363 for more information. We are easily accessible from I-93 and have free parking available on the UMass Boston campus. We are also on the Red Line (JFK/UMass station). |
