Would you like to learn more about and
participate in research with children?
The Cognitive Development lab has an
opening in P397/P398/P497/P498 on two different studies. One about early visual
environments in infants and another about the development of multi-digit
numbers in Kindergarteners.
We are looking for dependable,
organized, energetic people who are interested in developmental or cognitive
psychology, and who like working with children. Both projects will involve work
with actual subjects. Reliable transportation is needed for the project looking
at the development of multi-digit numbers.
You will learn about:
- human subjects ethics requirements
- recruiting and testing infants and
young children- stimulus creation and design
- coding and analyzing data from experiments
- contemporary research issues concerning number development and early visual environments
Course requirements include:
- attend weekly meetings of
undergraduate researchers
- participating in reading groups led
by a grad-student or post-doc- the presentation of an oral research report to the lab
- a poster at the end of semester poster session.
This will be an excellent opportunity for
students who want to pursue a research career in psychology or any career that
involves working with children and families. There are limited openings.
If you are interested, please fill out
the attached application and return it to Emily Johns at emjohns@iu.edu. We
will contact you to set up a meeting time for us to talk about the position
in-depth and answer any questions you may have.
If you have any questions on how this
works or about the research itself, please don't hesitate to ask emjohns@iu.edu
We look forward to hearing from you!
