Waiting Area

Our colorful Waiting Area gives parents and children time to relax and play before and after studies are conducted. While our staff explain our research to parents, kids can play with our train set, dive into our toy collection, or enjoy our library of children’s books.

Language Studies

Children can interact with our large screen during our language studies! In the “dax” studies, we are coming to understand how children infer the meaning of new words.

Looking Time Studies

In looking time studies, we measure how long children look at an object or image! This is because babies tend to look longer at something they find new or surprising, which can help us understand babies’ expectations about the world around them.

Reaching Studies

Reaching studies help us learn about a child’s ability to mentally keep track of objects. Past studies have shown us that 12-month-old babies can keep track of about 3 objects at once!

Puppet Studies

In our looking-time studies, we explore what infants know about the world before they can even speak. While babies watch exciting “puppet shows,” we measure how long they spend looking at various aspects of our displays.

Coding Room

In our state of the art coding room, we monitor and video record experiments occurring in all of the rooms for scientific analysis.
