Princeton Baby Lab

Two undergraduate researchers at the Baby Lab presented their work at the Princeton Summer Research Colloquium. Congrats, Shantell and Chloe!

It's the Week of the Young Child! This week, we celebrate early learning and the teachers and families who support it.

The Princeton Baby Lab will be at the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City this Friday (4/11) for their Family Friday event. Researchers from the New Jersey community will be there to do science activities with kids and talk about child development!

This weekend the Princeton Baby Lab attended the Boston University Conference on Language Development! Kennedy Casey, a second-year PhD student, presented her research on the many words parents use to refer to objects and animals. Our intuition might tell us that using only the word 'dog' would be best for children's word learning, but her research suggests that kids learn well from both consistent and variable words (like woof-woof and puppy).
