For both online and in-person studies, a session will last between 20-45 minutes. (For younger children we tend to stay under 30 minutes!)

We are here all year long, Monday to Friday 8:00am-8:00pm. We know that parents are very busy, so we like to keep our schedules as flexible as possible. We even run studies on the weekends, too!

Every time you participate in a study, we will have a parking spot specifically reserved for you, right outside our building.

Of course! We always have multiple well-trained volunteers and research assistants on staff to baby-sit during studies. Our lab is equipped with a child-friendly waiting area filled with toys, games and other activities. So, while one sibling is participating in a study, another will be supervised and well entertained.

Also, there are multiple labs in the Developmental Area that run studies for a large range of ages (up to 18 years). All children in your family may be able to participate in studies, either all at once or separately. Contact us for more details.

All of our studies look at the performance of a large group of children and compare the average performance at different ages or under different conditions. We do not provide individual assessments or evaluations of infants and children. If you are concerned about your child’s development, please speak to your pediatrician.

We are located on the beautiful Queen’s University Campus in Craine/Humphrey Hall (Psychology Building). Click here for a map.
