Current research includes studies of play, language, and cognitive development in infants and children from 1 month to 4 years of age. These studies are conducted in a comfortable home-like setting at Northwestern's Evanston campus. Children and parents enjoy participating in our projects.
Parents also appreciate the chance to contribute to scientific research.
