Department of Human Development: Help Us Learn How Children Think!
We are looking for 3- to 5-year-old children to participate in a study on children’s decision making abilities.
Participation involves a 1 hour visit to the WSU Childhood Cognition Lab housed in the Department of Human Development. We will schedule an appointment at a convenient time for your family. Parents will be given a parking permit for use during the visit to WSU.
During the study, your child will be asked to play a series of short games that are designed to assess how children make decisions. For example, in a simple rule following game your child might be given a blue circle and asked to find an object that has a matching shape, such as a red circle. Parents will be asked to fill out a short questionnaire.
The goal of this research is to develop simple strategies that can help improve children’s decision making abilities.
Children will be given a small gift for their participation.
This research study has been reviewed and approved for human subject participation by WSU Institutional Review Board.
