Description:
Assist with one or more studies exploring language development. Topics include: How infants identify the sounds and elements of events that are relevant for language; how toddlers learn word meanings; interactions between language and conceptual development in 2- to 3-year-olds; cross-linguistic similarities and differences in parental input to language learning.
Qualifications:
Must be responsible. The research requires that students interact with parents and young children, so it is essential that assistants be present and on time when appointments are scheduled. A two-semester commitment is preferred, though not required.
Duties:
Assist with conducting experiments with children; also some scheduling of appointments and coding of videotaped data.
