What do the experiments involve?
The experiments take place in comfortable home-like setting in the Frances Searle building of Northwestern University’s Evanston campus. The session lasts between 10 – 45 minutes (depending on the specific study). Most experiments consist of a single play session; however, a few studies have a follow up session 1 day to 2 weeks after the first observation. Learn more about our current studies. During the experiment, your child with either play with toys, look at pictures or movies and/or listen to speech sounds while we simply note their attention and responses. Parents can remain with child at all times. Learn more about other families’ experiences.
