Bilingual Immigrant

• Age Range: 3 to 4 years old
• Purpose: Exploring how bilingualism plays its role in context of attentional switching and early academic performances.

Bilingual Conservation

• Age Range: 5 to 7 years old

  

• Purpose: Testing the role of attentional shifting in conservation tasks by comparing monolingual and bilingual children.

Contextual Cueing

• Age Range: 3 to 5 years old

• Purpose: Testing the effect of familiar context in an object search task.

Head-Camera Study

Infants

• Age Range: 6 to 18 months

• Purpose: Documenting how early visual field of children changes over time.

Toddlers and children

• Age Range: 6 months to 5 years, including typically developing hearing children, children with autism or language delay, and typically developing deaf children.


• Purpose: Documenting how children from different language learning environments shift their attention in the visual field.

Illusory Projections

• Age Range: 24-42 months

• Purpose: Testing how language affects perception of object class.

Perceptual Similarity

• Age Range: 36 to 52 months


• Purpose: Exploring the role of object similarity in adjective learning.

Quantity

• Age Range: 2.5 to 7 years old


• Purpose: Studying how the early perception of quantity may differ across children learning different languages.

Training

• Age Range: 30 to 32 months


• Purpose: Testing whether effective correlational learning is present with non-linguistic cues. 

Weird Study

• Age Range: 17 to 20 months


• Purpose: Exploring how adults' intention and objects' perceptual saliency together guide early word mapping.

Word Learning

• Age Range: 3 to 5 years old

• Purpose: Examining how different types of language environments affect learning of multiple labels for objects.

Former Studies

Bilingual Adjective Learning

• Age Range: 30 to 36 months


• Purpose: Studying the role of attentional switching in novel word mapping by comparing monolinguals and bilinguals.

Highlighting

• Age Range: 9 months to 13 years old


• Purpose: Testing effect of previously learned associations in early learning
