Here at the CLAD Lab, we’ve been working to shift our studies into the remote world. We can now learn about how your little ones learn through Zoom! Sign up for our most recent studies by clicking on our Sign Up button or emailing us at [email protected], wherever you are! All you need is a Zoom account, stable internet connection, and a little one, and you can participate from the comfort of your own home. We’re excited to meet you!

Welcome! We are excited to engage with our community and conduct research around child learning! Most of our studies involve children between 0 and 10 years of age, and we’re always looking to involve interested families in our research. Studies take place at Amherst College (and now virtually, too!), and typically involve a one-time visit lasting about 30 minutes.
