OUR RESEARCH METHODS

 

Our research takes place in the community and online. Participation is fun and easy to do! Children typically read stories or play games with our Research Assistants. Parents and teachers typically fill out surveys or complete interviews. There are no right or wrong answers; we are interested in how thinking changes across development. 

 

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

 

Our studies take place at schools, after-school programs, daycares, summer camps, museums, libraries, parks, extension offices, and other community organizations. Each study typically involves just one visit by our research team, at a time that works for you. All participating children must have a parent's permission.
