We are researchers at the New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medical College who study cognitive and perceptual development in infancy and childhood.
Our research participants are little but our questions are big: How do babies come to understand objects, how do they direct their attention, and how do they learn about visual and auditory patterns in the world?
Recent research has shown that babies learn a lot during their first year and have so many abilities that we never thought possible. We are here to understand what babies can do and how they grow to be able to do it.
Infants can not tell us what they think with words, so we use indirect non-invasive methods. We record eye movements with a special camera. This tell us where infants are looking and for how long, as well as their patterns of scanning.
With an understanding of fundamental perceptual, cognitive, and brain development, scientists can diagnose and treat problems that arise in some children.
Please call us if you would like to participate. We will describe the study in detail and happily answer any of your questions. At that point you can decide whether you and your baby would like to come in.
