—both favorable and adverse—influence their neural, cognitive, and academic development.
Description:
Research Assistants may assist with the PLANES (Preschool Language and Neural Engagement Study) project. This study will investigate factors that contribute to socioeconomic differences in neurocognitive development and associated protective factors that promote resilience in preschool aged children (3-5 years). The study utilizes observational, experimental, and noninvasive neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, fNIRS) to examine how caregiver-child interaction relates to the development of brain networks that support language, executive functioning, and social cognition.
Responsibilities:
-recruiting participants
-facilitating child and family visits to the lab
-assisting with neuroimaging sessions
-examining videos for patters of parent-child interaction
Qualifications:
-a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, history of/interest in working with children and families
-interest in the intersections of developmental psychology, developmental cognitive neuroscience, and educational equity
