The focus of our research is to learn how children perceive spatial relationships between objects. We have a variety of studies that focus on different developmental stages of spatial cognition. All of the studies are conducted on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. Although the studies require a one-time thirty minute visit, you may be asked to participate in other studies.
Parents are always present during the study.
If either the parent or the child feels uncomfortable at any point, we immediately stop. We offer convenient times both on weekends and evenings, as well as during the day. Because of the large number of studies being conducted, each child's participation is determined by her or his birth date. We usually test in specific six-month increments. Parking spaces are provided for our participants.
