Brown Developmental Labs
We are a group of researchers in the Brown University Department of Cognitive and Psychological Sciences. We study how children learn and think about the world. Our research studies are set up as fun games that parents and children can do in-person at our lab spaces, or over Zoom with a researcher.
Our Interests
What is this for?
We want to know how infants, children, and teens: learn new words and word-meanings and combine them into more complex new sentences and thoughts, reason about cause and effect, physical objects, and social others.
Our labs conduct studies starting from infancy through adolescence, with help from kids between the ages of 3 months and 17 years.
