We, at the National University of Singapore (NUS), are
interested in understanding how babies learn their first
words.
If your baby is turning 18 months and you’re interested in
participating in our research, we would be very happy to hear from
you!
What should I expect?
Your baby will sit on your lap and listen to a set of words
accompanied by pictures. We will be interested in the pictures that
your child looks at in response to the words. We will also have you
fill out a questionnaire on your child’s language history which
will take you about 5 to 10 minutes. Yes, it’s really that
simple!
How will my baby and I benefit?
At no cost, we will do an assessment of your child’s vocabulary
development and cognitive abilities using standardized assessment
instruments. You will be reimbursed $20 for your child’s
participation in this study. Your travel expenses to the infant lab
at NUS will also be reimbursed.
If this sounds interesting and simple enough, feel free to contact
us! Sign up on our website at http://blog.nus.edu.sg/enquiries. You
may contact Ms. Calista Chan by email ([email protected]) or by
phone at 6601 1718. If you’d like to find out more, please dont’t
hesitate to contact us for more information, we will be happy to
attend to your enquiries.
Note: Depending on your child's age and language exposure, we will
contact you to schedule for a session after you have signed up for
the study.
