Undergraduate Directed Research Description:
Undergraduate research assistants usually assist in participant recruitment
(adults and children ages 7 months - 17 years), behavioral testing, behavioral and standardized
data analysis, and reporting of the results to the participating families and
the scientific community. Students are also exposed to processes involved in the
collection and analysis of neuroimaging data from EEG and/or MRI techniques with
adult and child participants.
Undergraduate Requirements:
- Undergraduate
students usually get involved by serving as research assistants for course credit (Child Psychology 4994: Directed Research)
or by volunteering
- Students should have taken/be
enrolled for at least one undergraduate course in one of the following domains:
Child Psychology or Developmental Psychology, Research Methods in the Social
Sciences, Cognitive Psychology, Neuropsychology, or Neuroscience.
- A strong
interest in developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, or cognitive
psychology is preferred.
- Due to the training that we provide to all new
undergraduates, preference is also given to students who are interested in
volunteering/directed research for more than one semester (i.e. two semesters or
one semester plus a summer session).
