We are working alongside another research lab at Virginia Tech, the Cognitive Developmental Science Lab (CoDeS Lab) for a new project! We are looking for children ages 4 to 6 years and their parents who live in the U.S. and speak English. Participation involves either one 75-min lab visit (VT campus) or two Zoom sessions totaling 75 minutes (Session 1: 40 min + Session 2: 35 min). 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 https://vtdevsci.cs.vt.edu (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. You can find more information on the Research page.
