The Child Development Lab, under the direction of Dr. Nathan Fox, is currently investigating the development of the Mirror Neuron System in the first year of life. To do this, we collect video and EEG data from both infants and adults while producing simple motor acts, and while observing these actions performed by others. We are seeking highly motivated, upper-level students to volunteer this semester (Fall 2012) to help with running our infant visits at the lab and with detail-oriented coding of behavioral data. Requirements: min 3.0 GPA, 9 hrs/week, 2 semester commitment. Prereq: PSYC 200. Must have availability this semester on Wednesday mornings and some afternoons (after 2pm). For study continuity purposes, females are preferred. If interested, please contact Tanya Tavassolie at cdlactionstudy@umd.edu.
