Your study session

When you first arrive, a researcher will explain the plan for the day to you, while another researcher gets acquainted with your child.

For eye-tracking studies, your child will sit on a chair and watch a series of pictures and movies appear on a screen.

Some studies in the eye-tracker room will have an interactive portion.

For our more active behavioral studies, we have a separate room. These studies are designed to feel like fun games for your child.

You will be in the room with your child during most studies. For some, you will be able to watch your child on a live video monitor nearby.
