Book your appointment today!
We are excited to let you know that UMass Boston’s Research Continuity Taskforce has approved our studies to re-start from July 9, 2020!
Our work at the UMass Boston Baby Lab is carried out in line with current State and University regulations relating to COVID-19. If you are interested in participating, we will send you a detailed information sheet with all our new safety rules. Here is a short summary:
• All classes at UMB are fully online until at least June 2021, and the administration is working remotely. This means that the common areas of the campus are used only by a small number of researchers and staff.
• All researchers and participants are encouraged to travel to campus by car. The walk from our lab’s parking spot to the lab is only about 3 minutes.
• Masks and gloves are worn by researchers at all times during appointments. We provide all visitors over 2 years of age with disposable masks.
• Social distancing is followed throughout the session, wherever possible.
• Our testing rooms and the waiting room have been outfitted with HEPA air filtration devices.
• All equipment is carefully disinfected between sessions. Our waiting room will not offer toys or books that are difficult to disinfect.
If you have a child and would like to come and participate in a study, we would love to hear from you! We’ll make sure that even with the new rules, your visit to the lab will be fun and enjoyable!

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. 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/ 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). |
