Lab Field Trip!

This week our summer research team took a trip to Cambridge to visit some of the Developmental Labs at Harvard University! Dr. Rosenberg and current Harvard lab teams showed us around, and told us about the current research that students and professors are working on.

We started our day with lunch with the lab summer research assistants. These were students from colleges and universities all over the country and the world!

Sophie tried out the special eye tracking program that researchers use to monitor children’s eye movements

Research assistants showed us the studies they are running with three- to five-year olds. The research methods change so much as the participants get older!

We spent some time going over the programs we use to analyze the data we collect with the creator of the program, Jonathan Kominsky!
