The Developing Minds Center is made up of two research labs in the Psychology Department
at Â鶹Æƽâ°æ College: Assistant Professor Jessica Sullivan’s Language and Social Development
Lab and Assistant Professor Erica Wojcik’s Early Learning Lab. We conduct developmental
psychology research—we study when, what, and how children learn.
In our research we use a variety of age-appropriate methods. We tell stories and/or show pictures to children, ask them questions, and pay attention to their responses. Sometimes we use eye-tracking technology to identify patterns behind children’s gazing behaviors. Our experiments are child-friendly and are designed to feel like short, fun games.
The Developing Minds Center is always excited to connect with new families with children between the ages of 1 and 8 who may be interested in participating in developmental psychology research. Conducting meaningful research that is relevant to our global population is highly important to us. This means we must seek participants from a diverse array of backgrounds to ensure that our data are representative of our population as a whole, rather than merely a part of it.
