Commonly Asked Questions
Is there compensation for participating in your studies?
Yes! Most of our studies offer a small amount of money (in Amazon gift cards) to compensation for participants’ time and travel expenses. Children participants will also receive a book or a t-shirt as a token of our appreciation for our little scientists. We also offer free parking and free child care for any siblings who come to the studies.

if you are interested in participating, we will arrange a time for you and your child to come into the lab. We will try to work around your schedule as much as we can. Generally, we offer availability both on weekdays and the weekends.

What does participating in a study look like?
Most of our studies typically last anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes, and we may book the session for 60 minutes just to make sure there is enough time. All of our developmental studies are designed to be fun and engaging for children and we are collaborating with the Princeton Baby Lab by using their lab spaces. You will be with your child at all times during the study, and you can stop the study at any time. Throughout the study, you’ll also have opportunities to talk to our research team and ask any questions you may have.
