Welcome to the Cognitive Development Lab

We are looking forward to working with you and we hope that this experience is informative and meaningful for you! Working in the lab is an opportunity for you to learn how research is conducted, to develop your skills as a researcher, and to take on new challenges and responsibilities. You will be relied upon to perform many different kinds of tasks, and the longer you are here, the more responsibility you are likely to be given.

The first step in your research experience is to complete several training and certification measures. All measures are required by the OSU Internal Review Board (IRB), must be documented with this lab, and will be verified by the IRB. You will need to provide documentation and/or email notification to the lab manager after completing each item.
