About Us
- The KCU Baby Development Lab examines perceptual, cognitive, and social development in the first year of life.
- During our appointments, the parent sits with their child on their lap while we show the baby images on a TV monitor.
- Because previous research has shown babies look longer to something that is new or novel to them, we design studies based upon this fact to determine what a baby ‘knows’ about the world.
- This helps us learn about how a baby’s brain responds to different types of information in the first year of life.
