Virtual Lab

Welcome to the Cognitive Development Virtual Lab!

We are very excited to open our research to families within and beyond Pittsburgh and invite children to participate in our research by playing fun games with our researchers online! Enrollment into our studies is currently over, but please check back for new studies! We are always working on creating more fun thinking games for children. To sign up to hear about our future studies, click here. Our studies consist of Zoom sessions with our trained and experienced researchers from the comfort of your own home and at a time that works well for your family!

When children play our online games, it helps us discover how children think, learn, and make decisions. To express our appreciation for your help with our research, we will send you a gift card to an online store, or you can choose to help us donate books to local schools through the non-profit organization Progress Through Pages. The more kids play our games, the more books we can donate to local schools!

If you have any questions, please visit our FAQ, or feel free to email us at cogdevlab@andrew.cmu.edu.
