At the Early Social Devel­op­ment Lab at Dal­housie Uni­ver­sity, we study how kids inter­act with the world around them. You can learn more about our work at http://esdl.psychology.dal.ca.

We are cur­rently look­ing for kids between the ages of 4 months and 8 years to par­tic­i­pate in a study about their social development.

With the infants (aged 4–9 months) we are inter­ested in when young chil­dren begin to rec­og­nize them­selves. With the older kids (aged 4–8 years) we are inter­ested in how kids under­stand the con­cepts of shar­ing and fairness.

We would like to ask for your assis­tance with our research! If you have a child between these ages and are will­ing to vol­un­teer 20–45 min­utes of your time, we would appre­ci­ate hear­ing from you!

Dur­ing a study visit, your child will be asked to per­form a sim­ple task or play an inter­ac­tive game. All our stud­ies are com­pletely safe and fun! You will be present in the room through­out the study.

Chil­dren will receive a cer­tifi­cate as a thank-you for com­ing in to play. Older chil­dren will receive a sticker book and stick­ers, too.
