Learning Opportunities for Students
|
|
Many
students, both graduate and undergraduate, have worked in the Infant
and Child Temperament Lab. Students generally come to the lab to learn
about how research is designed and implemented. They do so through
many varied experiences which have included acting as a "stranger"
during an infant and child procedures, operating audiovisual equipment,
interviewing parents, recording heart rate, inputting data, and coding
videotapes of infants children and parents. Many of our students have
conducted studies of their own using an existing data set, usually
for their Honors theses. |
|
Our
undergraduates come from many major areas of study. Many are from
Human Development and Family Studies, but we also have students from
Psychology, Biology, Communications Disorders and even Engineering.
All students get valuable experience working on our research project.
It is especially helpful to those students planning to go on to graduate
school. Students from the Pre-Med program who are interested in Pediatrics
get experience observing and working with infants and children. Interested
and motivated students who want to learn about infants and children
and the research process will find working in the Infant and Child
Temperament Lab an enjoyable learning experience. In addition to academic
opportunities, the Infant and Child Temperament Lab is also an excellent
place to meet other students and staff, making friends and having
fun. Come visit some pictures of us having good
times |

Undergraduate
students who want to be involved in our research can earn 3 credits
of independent study. The requirements include 6-9 hours of "work"
per week and attendance at weekly lab meetings |
