Welcome to the ChiLDS Lab!

At the ChiLDS Lab, we want to know how children learn, from others and from their environment. We invite you to visit us! During your visit, you and your child can take part in a one-time study and learn more about our latest research on how children learn. Research like ours informs science, families and educators about child development. We have studies for babies as young as 18-months to 4-years of age and we are currently running in-person studies! Click here to learn more about our current studies!

Parents! Sign up to participate in one of our studies here!
