We generally have studies running from children from 6 months up to 12 years of age, but we add new studies all the time! By filling out this interest form, we will be able to contact you about studies your child may eligible for!
Appointments should usually last around 30-45 minutes long. Studies usually involve your child playing a fun and short game, watching a short video, or having a conversation with a researcher. After completing our study, you and your child can choose from some prizes, such as lab merch, stuffed animals, a small gift card, and books! We offer studies that can be done remotely (via Zoom) or in person, at our lab at UC San Diego's campus.
For our in-person studies, we would like to offer free parking and free child care for any other children present during the study session.
Our lab is set up to encourage children and their parents to feel comfortable and enjoy their experience with us.
For our studies that are in-lab, here are directions to our lab, which is on UC San Diego's campus. For studies that are held remotely, you will be sent any links for the study when you sign up.
