We are looking for rising second grader or rising fifth grader during this 2025 summer and their parents who speak and read English to participate in a Virginia Tech research study (IRB #24-1349). Participation involves one 60-minute video-recorded session, either on the Blacksburg campus, at home, or at a child’s school, after-school, or summer program. Children play with a Lego set, do reading and math activities, and play iPad games. Parents complete two surveys lasting about 15 minutes. Participants will be compensated with a $20 or $5 e-gift card, depending on where the session takes place. Details are in the flier to the left.

We are working alongside another research lab at Virginia Tech, the Cognitive Developmental Science Lab (CoDeS Lab) for a new project! We are recruiting children between 4 and 6 years old and their parents to participate in a fun visit to the Blacksburg campus of Virginia Tech, for one 75-minute session. See the flyer on the left for more details. If you would like more information, fill out the interest form here or email Dr. Koeun Choi (director of the CoDeS lab) at koeun@vt.edu.
Developmental Science at VT: Exciting Opportunity for Families Interested in VT Research Studies!
Developmental Science at VT: Exciting Opportunity for Families Interested in VT Research Studies!
Developmental Science Researchers at Virginia Tech have a new “Developmental Science at VT” Network, a comprehensive registry connecting families interested in participating in research studies with researchers in Psychology or Human Development and Family Science.
If you want to learn more about research opportunities for you and/or your child(ren), please share your information with us. Researchers will then contact you with details about studies you may be eligible for. To join the registry, visit www.bit.ly/VTResearch (or, use the QR code in the flier).
Thank you for your interest and support in advancing science!
About Us
About Us
In the Virginia Tech Learning and Development Lab, we conduct research to understand mechanisms of learning and determine how to optimize the learning environment to improve children's understanding of key concepts. The lab's primary focus is within the domain of mathematical cognition in early and middle childhood.
We are committed to conducting high-quality research and using what we learn from research to help children, families, and teachers. Our research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Society for Research in Child Development, and the EF+Math Program of the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund.
