Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently conducting our studies online only. Currently, we have studies for 3- to 5-year-old children that we conduct via Microsoft Teams. Please contact the lab if you are interested having your child participate online from the comfort of your home.

Typical studies in our lab involve coming into the laboratory for approximately one hour. Studies with children involve games that children find fun to play. Children will be asked to complete several activities such as card games, story games, and some games where they will be asked to make responses to an experimenter's actions or questions. Parents will be asked to provide some basic demographic information and may be asked to fill out a few short questionnaires about their children's behaviour.

Currently, we are seeking 3- to 6- year old children for studies on the development of memory and future thinking and adults over 60 years old for a study on memory.

For more information on current studies in the lab please send us an email.
