make for our children." - Sitting Bull
You will be able to stay with your child for the entire visit, and you can expect it to take approximately 30 minutes. The study consists of three short sessions.
| 1. While sitting in a car seat, your child will be presented with pictures of faces on a computer monitor. A specialized camera will track and record your child’s eye movements (~10 minutes). |
 |
| 2. Next, we will video record interactions between you and your child as you convey different facial expressions, play “peek-a-boo”, point to various objects in the room, and as we call your child’s name (~ 5 minutes). |
 |
| 3. Lastly, while sitting on your lap your child will be presented with pictures of moving dots on two computer monitors directly in front of them. They will be video recorded as they watch the monitors for two 1.5 minute intervals (~ 5 minutes). |
