Child Development Unit

Child Development Unit We are a research lab that has ongoing research studies that aim to help us understand more about infant development.

The Child Development Unit at UMASS Boston conducts research studies that aim to understand more about infant and child development. Studies focus on mother-infant interactions, infant memory, behavior and temperament. Whether you have already been an active participant in our studies, have just recently joined us, or would like to gain a better understanding of our work, we appreciate your interest.
