We seek responsible, highly motivated students with an interest in language, learning, and children, to assist with both online (by scheduled Zoom appointments with participants) and in-lab research projects. Previous experience with children, and prior coursework in cognitive psychology, speech & hearing, or linguistics are very helpful. No prior research experience is required. We recruit PSYC 290 students every semester, both Fall and Spring, and the 8-week Summer Session II. The best time to apply for Summer and Fall is late March to early April (of the preceding semester), and the best time to apply for Spring is November (i.e. now!).
New students in the lab sign up for 3 credit hours of PSYC 290, and work 3 3-hour lab shifts; experienced students continuing in the lab may sign up for 2 credit hours, and work 2 3-hour shifts. Note that the weekly time commitments are different for the 8-week Summer Session II (see the application form linked below for more information).
