Kids in Context Study:

Did you know that young children build up to 1000 new brain connections per second? That means that in the time it took you to read the last sentence, your baby made 5000 new connections! How extraordinary!

In our lab, we study how babies react to the world around them, including their behaviour, emotions and the activity in their brains. We look at how infants play, how they think, and how they react to mild, everyday challenges. We follow families to better understand how babies develop over time. We also ask moms about their own childhood and their current experiences to understand their development. 

Funding provided by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council and the Harry Rosen Research Grant.

At this time, we have finished recruiting parents and children for this study.
