How do children categorize animals?
This study is for ages 3 – 6 years
In this study, we explore how children categorize animals. Children must be 3 to 6 years old and be able to speak and understand English to participate.
This study involves sorting pictures of animals into separate categories. Your child will be asked to help teach a robot whether each animal does or does not belong in a group.
This study takes place in-person at our lab on the Brown University Campus at 190 Thayer St., Providence, Rhode Island. We will provide FREE PARKING if you let us know in advance that you will be driving.
After the study, your child will receive a small prize for participating in our study.
