Description:
This research project, based in a developmental psychology lab, investigates how early parent–child interactions shape children’s learning—particularly in math. The team examines how caregiver communication and behavior influence children's cognitive, emotional, and academic development. Current projects involve analyzing video-recorded parent–child interactions and partnering with early childhood education centers to support data collection. The research aims to inform parenting practices, educational strategies, and early interventions that support positive math outcomes. Volunteers contribute to this work while gaining hands-on experience with developmental research methods.How To Apply:
