Cognitive Development Labs

The labs’ research projects explore how young children perceive, learn about, and think about the world. They use simple (and fun) games to find out more about how kids think about numbers, space, language, and people. They are currently looking for local families and children 11 years and younger to participate in studies throughout the summer and academic year. Learn more about their research and how to participate at their website, or contact them at cdl@wesleyan.edu
