We are seeking 6- to 24-month-old infant scientists to join our research study.
The Infant Cognition Lab conducts virtual and in-person research studies with infants to support the understanding of early developmental growth and its application to early knowledge acquisition.
In-Person Experiments
During the study session, your child will watch a series of fun videos while they wear a neuroimaging hat. We use innovative eye-tracking and brain-imaging technology to measure your infant's visual and neurological perception to the events that take place around them. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or FNIRS, is a cutting edge neuroimaging technology that allows us to use light sensors to monitor brain activity in a safe and noninvasive way.
Virtual Experiments
Join our 45-minute video calls where caregivers and infants together complete brief tasks while an experimenter from the lab observes the actions being carried out.
The Infant Cognition Lab is run by doctoral students and overseen by Florida Atlantic Professor and Associate Provost of Academic Personnel, Dr. Teresa Wilcox. For the past 30 years, Dr. Wilcox has dedicated her career to investigating the knowledge that infants possess very early in development, the knowledge that infants acquire more gradually, and the kinds of experiences that support early knowledge acquisition.

We’re offering a $10 Amazon gift-card to families who participate in a session with us! The outcome of these studies will help us identify how the infant's brain is organized and how infants learn about their world. Infants must be between 6-24 months to participate in the study.
