Children are EAGER to learn and make new connections! A great way to encourage their intellectual curiosity is by reading math- or science-related books as a family! Here are some of our recommendations and feel free to comment down yours!

Last week our graduate student, Shannon, presented on her two ongoing studies to the lab! These studies investigate how babies understand and distinguish between agents and objects.
Find out more about these studies and sign up to participate on our website: https://www.labdevelopingmind.com/online
Do babies 👶 think nouns refer to objects or parts of a layout? This adorable little scientist is helping us find out!
Babies between 8.5-9.5 and 15.5-16.5 months are eligible to participate in this online study 💻. Sign up at https://www.labdevelopingmind.com/online
This little one is helping us to understand whether babies distinguish agents 🏃♀️ from objects 🍎
We're excited to be running infants in our study, And Yet it Moves! If you or someone you know has a 10.5-11.5 month old, sign up to participate: https://www.labdevelopingmind.com/online

We're excited to welcome our new RA, Rachel, to the LDM this semester! Rachel is a junior majoring in Psychology and minoring in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. She is excited to gain insight into developmental psychology and work with children as an aspiring psychologist!
Welcome Rachel!!!

We're excited to introduce our lab's new graduate student, Mohit! Mohit graduated from Temple University this past year where he majored in Psychology and Philosophy. He also worked in the Research In Spatial Cognition (RISC) lab, where he studied how people think about feedback loops.
In the LDM, Mohit is interested in investigating the development of logical thinking and learning more broadly about cognitive architecture, modularity, and (as our resident Chomsky expert) the relationship between language and thought.
Welcome Mohit!!!

The whole LDM team is back! Last week, our lab had its first full team meeting of the semester!
We were excited to have everyone together to discuss the best ways to reach families for our studies 👶💻

As the Fall semester approaches here at NYU, the LDM is excited to welcome our new RA, Vasvi!
Vasvi is a sophomore double majoring in Neural Science and Psychology on the pre-health track. She is eager to understand the different cognitive functions developed in infants and understand their ability to perceive the world around them.
Welcome to the LDM, Vasvi!!
