We are recruiting children 4 years of age (-/+ 2 months) and 5 years of age (-/+ 2 months) to participate in an Attention and Learning in Early Childhood Study. It is an online study so that you and your child can participate from the comfort of home. The study involves two study sessions. Each will last for approximately one hour and will be scheduled within one week apart. Must have access to a computer with a camera and zoom to participate.

In the first session, your child will watch a couple videos of women talk and complete a vocabulary game. In the second session, you and your child will complete a 10-min interaction and your child will complete two short games. We also ask you to complete a background questionnaire and questionnaires about your child behavior. You will be compensated for $20 target gift card for the 1st session and $30 target gift card for the 2nd session.

If you are interested, please fill out the questionnaire in the link: https://go.fiu.edu/ALEC. We will reach out to you once we receive your response. If you have any questions, please email ([email protected]) or call us at 305-348-9055. Thank you!
