F.A.Q.
Q: Why should I participate?

Q: Does my baby/child get anything for participating?

Q: How long do the studies take?
A: Studies can take anywhere from 15 to 120 minutes. Most studies require only one visit.
Q: When would my baby/child be able to participate in a study?
A: We match your availability with times that an experimenter is available. Generally, we encourage you to choose times when your baby would not be hungry or need a nap.
Q: Will my child's session be confidential?
A: Yes. All of the information we obtain from your child's session will be kept confidential. Each child will be assigned a code number and only the experimenters associated with the project will have access to the information.
Q: What happens if my baby gets fussy?
A: If at any point during the session your baby should become fussy, we will stop the session.
