  • Study HIC#:2000031080
  • Last Updated:02/02/2024

Volunteers will be mothers who complete two, 2-hour long visits at the Yale Child Study Center. During the first visit, volunteers will complete some questionnaires, then some play time and a free developmental assessment with their infant. During the second visit, volunteers (not their infants) will complete a simple computer task while we safely measure brain activity as well as completing some more questionnaires and cognitive tasks. There will also be some questionnaires to complete between visits. Volunteers will be compensated $50 after each visit, for a total of $100. Travel compensation is available too.
