Looking for a fun and free activity this summer? The CCLL is recruiting 3- and 4-year old children to participate in a study at the University of Ottawa! Contact [email protected] to learn more or to set up an appointment at your convenience! This study looks at children’s understanding that different people have different preferences and that these can change as we age. For instance, do children understand that although they might love juice now, when they grow up they may pre...fer drinks like coffee or tea. Free parking is provided and you child will receive a small gift for helping us out. Our previous research has found that the ability to understand that preferences can change over time improves between the ages of three and five years old. We are looking to extend and strengthen these published results by adding more participants to the study and investigating the parallel development of other cognitive skills such as theory of mind and executive functioning. Check out the link below to take a look at what we have already done! https://goo.gl/hsggug We are always looking for families with children ages 3 months to 8 years to participate in our research. Sign up online or email [email protected] to learn more!

Are you looking for a fun activity to do with your child during the March break? If so, we have some new studies for 7-year-olds at the Childhood Cognition and Learning Lab at the University of Ottawa. We can schedule you to come in during the day, the evening, or on weekends to participate. In these studies, we’re interested in finding out more about future thinking and planning in older children and also their ability to set short- and long-term goals. These studies take a...pproximately 40 minutes to complete and involve special games and treats. We also thank children for their participation by giving them a small gift to take home with them. Free parking at the University or bus tickets to compensate for transportation costs are also provided. Finally, we are always looking for 3-5 year-olds to participate in ongoing studies about children's understanding of how preferences change over time. If you’d like to participate, you may contact our lab coordinator, Isabelle Cossette, at [email protected] so that we can find a day and time that is convenient for you. We look forward meeting you!
