Our Katie is one of the cool people researching Language Development at PENN. I know her colleagues and trust them to respect your time and family.
The PENN Infant Language Center wants to observe babies and young children react to known and new words. They hope the findings will contribute to knowledge of normal language development, and ultimately benefit children at risk for language problems. Observing youngsters may even lead to better and more reliable early interventions for children with language difficulties. In addition to the rewards inherent in advancing knowledge, participating families will be given their choice of: $20.00, or two Children's Books, or $10.00 and one Book (this way parent and child each reap a reward!) Most studies take about 5 minutes and the entire process usually less than 30 minutes. Participation involves visiting with one of the researchers at Penn at 3401 Walnut St. During the visit, your child would sit on your lap or in an infant seat, and would listen to speech while looking at some pictures of objects on a television screen. In some studies, researchers would also attempt to teach your child one or two made-up words, to follow the process of word learning. Please get in touch!. Contact Katie or the Language Center at (215) 746-0060, or by e-mail at [email protected] You can also check out their web-site at www.psych.upenn.edu/infant I hope some of the list readers will be interested and get involved, and / or pass this along to folks who have small children and an interest in how we learn. Thanks for your gracious attention to this request, which I have forwarded on behalf of my daughter. Please forgive duplications.
