ABOUT US
The i - Language, Environment, Attention, and Parenting (iLEAP) laboratory conducts research on how infants and young children learn to comprehend and produce language. Learning language involves attention and perception across many different areas of interest in their worlds, including interactions with caretakers. We are interested in how infants and toddlers learn about faces and voices, how acquiring language influences how children think, and how, when, and where children's attention is directed in both social and nonsocial situations. We are also interested in how children learn a second language!
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The iLEAP lab is committed to sustaining a comfortable environment that is open to anyone, regardless of race, age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, socio-economic status, or physical/mental ability. We strive to cultivate a judgment-free workspace that maintains a respectful relationship between the researchers and participants. We value open, and honest communication, and encourage any and all questions from those interested in our current and past projects.
