What: Here at the UNLV Baby and Child Lab we aim to understand how infants and children learn about people in their social world. COVID Precautions: Our lab values your family's health and safety. In accordance with university guidelines, all of our staff are fully vaccinated, wear masks at all times in the lab, and adhere to proper social-distancing whenever possible. Why: Our lab examines how infants and children understand the world around them. To test this with infants, we record how long they look at different types of faces so we can understand how people start making sense of their social world. To test this with children, we show them faces, ask them questions, or have them complete computerized task to find out their perceptions of others. Our research is safe and simple for our participants. Families come to our lab, and each appointment usually takes about 45 min including explanations and all paperwork. Infants sit on a caregivers’ lap or in a car seat with the caregiver seated behind them while we record their looking behavior. We will show them pictures of different kinds of people to see which pictures they look at longer. After the study, the infant receives a bib, t-shirt, or small toy for participating. Our child studies are all a little different and depend on your child’s age. Like our infant research, they are all safe and simple for the child, and we can give more details based on your child’s age. When each study is over, we mail letters to update families on our results. Who: We would like to invite you to join us for some exciting new research with 8 - 9 year olds looking at the way attention affects imitation.

When: Our lab is open Monday to Saturday from 9:00 am until at least 5 pm. We will do our best to work around your schedule. Where: Our lab is located on campus of UNLV near the Lied Library in Campus Lab Building 2. We will send you a map after we make the appointment. We have a parking spot in front of our building, and we will wait for you outside to show you where to park. Click here to enroll your child in a study today! 👇🏼
