If you schedule an appointment with us, you can expect it to last for about 2-2.5 hours. Both you and your child will play some learning games and you will answer some questions about your life. To learn more about each part, see below!
Learning Games
What you do when participating in research can vary depending on what is being explored. In this study, we ask that both moms and their children play some games so that we can understand more about how the brain works. These games may test your memory, all the words your child knows, or how fast you are at certain skills. For children, these games don't require much more than most video games. We try to make sure games are quick and fun!
Life Questions
We want to know more about what it is like to be a mother for you! To understand this, we ask some questions using a survey. This survey is not connected to your name and all answers are kept confidential. Most questions ask you to choose a number or phrase that best matches how you feel. You can skip any questions that make you uncomfortable.
Brain Activity
Your child's brain is going through a lot of changes in these early years! We want to know more about the activity happening. We do this using something called EEG. It looks like a net with many dots that fit right over your child's head like a cap. Your child will watch a movie while wearing the cap and we will record the electrical activity coming from the brain. We like this part because it is totally safe and parents can get great pictures of their child with the EEG cap on! We will be sure to take good care of your child's hair, no matter the texture and length!
