​ 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 and toddlers have and how they learn about the world around them.  More specifically, we study language learning, short-term memory, and visual development.  

In our studies, babies sit on their parents' lap while they either watch a short series of videos on a computer monitor while we track their gaze, or watch some pictures on a tablet and play a fun memory game. Visits typically last about 30 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, please sign up online at http://babylab.youcanbook.me/

Online studies: We are currently recruiting toddlers between the ages of 24-48 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 a $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).
