Have you ever wondered how children learn? Please help us find out! We are a group of
researchers at the University of Texas at Austin who are interested in how babies and young children learn their language. We invite you to come and participate in one of our
developmental studies with your little one. Each study involves a one-time 1-hour visit to UT. Not only will it be a fun, novel experience for your child, but you will also have the opportunity to learn a little bit more about what’s going on in those amazing early months and years!

Interested in participating? Complete this interest form and we’ll reach back out to you with more information: https://tinyurl.com/childslabsignup

Our research was highlighted by the Wall Street Journal!!! This article is a short 5 minute read and highlights bilingualism research! In this article, we learn about bilingualism research in kids and infants and how bilingualism not only helps with some aspects of executive functioning (reasoning, memory, and carrying out tasks), but it can adapt neuro connections! Here's the article! Feel free to email us for the research paper!

New research shows that people who know two languages make different neural connections when they think
