🌟 We have an exciting new study for 6 to 6.5-year-olds! 🌟
We’re exploring if kids can understand emotional cues in different languages. Your child will view images while listening to sentences in Arabic and match the emotional tone to the correct image. We'll also use familiar-sounding words (cognates) to see if they help in interpreting emotions.
📝 Inclusion Criteria:
* Age: 6-6.5 years
* Speak English at least 80% of the time at home
* No prior exposure to Arabic
📅 Study Info:
* Sessions: ~1 hour at the University of Calgary
* Free parking provided
* Participants get a toy prize, child scientist t-shirt, and certificate!
