Looking for something fun to do with your child? Come participate in a study at the Language and Learning Lab at Boston University. Your child will have the opportunity to be a 'scientist' and help us with our research. Our studies are set up as fun games that your child will play with us.

At the Language and Learning Lab, we are interested in how young children learn about the world around them! Our research explores the way that infants and children begin to:

*Use words and other symbols to communicate
*Understand references to absent objects, people, and events
*Update their knowledge from what others tell them
*Learn new information from picture books
*Understand the intentions of others during communication

When you come in for your appointment, your child will play a short game with a research assistant. Parent are welcome to remain with their child the entire time. Siblings are also allowed to come to the appointment; they will be taken care of by another trained research assistant. Your child will receive a small prize for participating.

Right now we are interested specifically in children ages 16 months and 20-32 months. However, we have studies that involve children ages 15 months to 9 years!
